Enjoy this quick behind the scenes of kiriau (dried beach hibiscus tree bark) making to produce Cook Islands cultural dancing costumes by Te Autu Performing Arts group. 🏝 Understanding this age-old process deepens our appreciation for the effort and resourcefulness of our ancestors, and fills us with pride as we see these kiriau costumes come alive. ✨ Learn more about Cook Islands' history here: https://brnw.ch/21wKg8q 🎥 @te_autu [IG] | Cook Islands

Each year in April, dozens of dancers in three age groups (junior, intermediate and seniors) take to the stage to compete for the title of Dancer of the Year. There is also a Golden Oldies, Ex-Pats & Visitors category that gives our elders and visiting tourists a chance to show-off their talents too. | Cook Islands | Facebook
