Meke Dance in Fiji

One of the coolest traditions in Fiji involves folklore, elaborate costumes, and unique dancing. Meke dances are a traditional form of dance in Fiji. The dance involves clapping, chanting and the banging of a Fijian drum called a lali. They are used to tell stories and even send messages from one village to another. It is a tradition that has been upheld for generations and is thrilling and captivating to watch.

There are many places to see a Meke dance, but it is great to see them at night, with torches and the fading sun behind the dancers in their detailed costumes. Some dances even incorporate a meal of local foods and kava. This makes for a thrilling history lesson for all your senses. There are various dances with different levels of grandeur, with some including food and others not. It is best to choose one based on your budget and level of interest.
