PE – Dance

As part of their PE Dance topic, P6M will be learning a variety of dances from other cultures.  First on the list was the New Zealand ‘HAKA’.

Traditionally, the Māori people of New Zealand performed haka to display a tribe’s pride, strength and unity. The haka is commonly known as a war dance used to fire up warriors on the battlefield, but it’s also a customary way to celebrate, entertain, welcome, and challenge visiting tribes.
