Mai Kai Question for tourist!

Hey everyone. My family and I have a vacation trip planned to come visit the area.

We are very interested in having dinner at Mai Kai and catching the Polynesian dancers - as my 4 yr old daughter is a huge Moana fan.

I’m currently looking at 2 seating options. One is the New Guinea section which will put us right against the stage but to the side…

And the other is the Tonga section which will sit us center stage but back and elevated for a good view…

Curious if there is any interaction with the dancers when you sit right up against the stage vs sitting back and elevated?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
