In contrast to polynesian dance, melanesian dance is more restrained for female dancers. These Fijian women are more conservatively dressed and make smaller foot movements and hand gestures in their traditional dance performance. Interestingly, this is not the case with the male dancers who lean toward very assertive postures and actions.
