One of the most known groups is the <a href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/things-to-do-on-easter-island\/easter-island-dances\/ballet-cultural-kari-kari\/\"><strong>Kari Kari Cultural Ballet<\/strong><\/a>, which has a studio on the main street and performs three times a week. Another important group is the <strong>Ra&#8217;ai<\/strong> who offers you a dinner with traditional curanto before the show and finally there is the Maori Tupuna-Vai Te Mihi group at Policarpio Toro (coast), fusing traditional instruments of the island with modern instruments.<\/p>\n<p>The entrance fee to the shows is around $20 USD, though it varies if you choose to include a traditional dinner. The hotels always have up to date information on the days and times that each group performs, and in many cases they organize transport to the shows for their guests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imaginarapanui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/bailes-de-isla-de-pascua2.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Easter Island dance shows\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><span style=\"font-size: x-small; color: #888888;\">Traditional dances at Anakena<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Occasionally, there are dance performances on the <a title=\"Anakena\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/easter-island-sightseeing\/easter-island-beaches\/anakena\/\"><strong>Anakena<\/strong><\/a> beach, especially during the <a title=\"Tapati Rapa Nui\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/things-to-do-on-easter-island\/tapati-rapa-nui\/\"><strong>Tapati Festival<\/strong><\/a>.
