Dar Dancers
After years of wowing the crowds with their Polynesian performances, the Dar Dancers are embracing their own culture and have a number of stunning Marshallese routines that include Marshallese flags and amimono fans. The group performed at the recent state dinner for the ROC President Tsai Ing-wen. The dancers’ leader, Salome Andrike, said “The Taiwanese Ambassador was very impressed with the girls.”
Along with their support band M-Polen, the Dar Dancers on Saturday did a small performance for German journalist Simon Riesche, who was visiting the Marshall Islands to put together a documentary on climate change. “They were just terrific,” Riesche said, adding they would make a colorful segment in the video.
The Dar Dancers has been in existence for over 20 years. “If anyone is having a function and would like to hire us, we’ll be happy to be there,” Salome said.
