Haka dance

Haka is a traditional performing art of Maori in New Zealand. It used to be a war dance performed by the Maori people before the war to intimidate each other.

The lyrics of Kaha dance are not fixed, and different nationalities have their own lyrics. The biggest feature of kaha dance is that at the end of the dance, all the dancers show and stretch their tongues. The original intention is to imitate the appearance of the enemy hanging on a long pole after being killed. Many tourists find this action expression very interesting.

Kaha dance performed by all-black members of New Zealand national football team before the game is now widely known.

According to the classification of Maori, kaha dance can be divided into three types:

Whakatu waewae

Tu Tu Ngalahu
