Heritage

Maori is best known for their cultural tradition known as the haka. Which is one of the best known dances of Polynesia. This dance is performed by all the blacks (national Rugby team) before each game. This dance is a mixture with a song and is created by clapping hands, stomping feet, and slapping thighs. There is a leader and a chorus that responds to the leader's lead vocal line. The dance is filled with energetic postures that represent aggressiveness. Chanting follows this dance and it often represents the family lines or the exploits of ancestors.
