Featuring premiere Tahitian dancer from O Tahiti E

Kellian Mutlu

Kellian began her journey in Tahitian dance at the age of 6 at Te Fare Upa Tau - the Artistic Conservatory of French Polynesia, where she gained her traditional Tahitian dance diploma.

She then had the incredible opportunity to dance and gain valuable experience with the prestigious O Tahiti E troupe under the guidance of Marguerite Lai, before moving to New Zealand to further her studies.

She is proud to represent her island home of Tahiti at the KANOHI ORA - The Living Face exhibition, especially at the Tahitian Extravaganza!
