The traditional dance of the Maori people of New Zealand is called the Haka. This powerful form of dance involves vigorous movements, chanting, and facial expressions, showcasing strength, unity, and cultural pride. Although it is often associated with war, the Haka is performed on various occasions, including ceremonial gatherings, celebrations, and public events. Most famously, the All Blacks rugby team performs the Haka before their matches, symbolizing respect and challenge. The dance incorporates elements of storytelling and conveys emotions and messages through rhythm, posture, and body language, making it an integral part of Maori culture.
