Summary
In this chapter, Dr. Mead discusses the role of both informal and formal (less common than the former) dances in Samoan society. She emphasizes the reversed prominence of elders and children, as well as correlations between the Samoan dance and Western education.
Discussion
I can see up and downsides to this chapter and activity. The most prominent question I have is how large the role the dance plays is. This is, I now know what is is, but how important it is I don't think is made clear enough to me.
