Estella “Nonosina” Reid 1934-2020 �

As our roots are steadfast and our trunk stands firm, our branches now grow. Nonosina was passed to Estella’s youngest daughter, Riki Liufau. Breaking barriers and taking the competition circuit by storm, Riki lead the group to new horizons. Riki’s eldest son, Mevina, was passed the torch & blessing in 1998 and lead the group after extensive training and research he had forgone in Tahiti. Mevina is a pioneer in innovating Tahitian music, dance and choreography. And yet, the branches still grow… Nonosina currently is led by Tiana Nonosina Liufau. Tiana has brought Tahitian dance to national television and brings a modern take on her art that stems from traditional school of thought. Nonosina has made a name, style and sound in the Polynesian realm both inside and outside of the Polynesian triangle that is very distinctive & innovative. Nonosina is a family-community & school of Polynesian dance that strives to always give respect to the motherland of this art that we love, Polynesia.
