Marine Anna Alice Lechene
Marine was born in awesome and beautiful New Caledonia, a small French Pacific island East to Australia. From a French mother and a Chino-Tahitian father, art and culture came naturally in her education and she started drawing, playing piano and dancing very young.Tahitian dance has always been part of her life, from the large and warm Tahiti Nui studio in New-Caledonia where everything began to the cold-temperate room in France where islanders gathered when homesickness struck. Her teachers shared their love and passion for Ori Tahiti, promoting the corner stones of the Polynesian culture: love, family, generosity.Now living in Australia, Marine was lucky enough to find a small group animated by the same passion for Ori Tahiti and she directly called it home. Now it is her time to share and teach Ori Tahiti and she hopes Sydney will embrace this culture through the international language of dance.
