Kahurangi Dance Group


This week were lucky to have the Kahurangi Dance Group perform at school. They presented the story of the Pacific. How people travelled from Hawaii , through the pacific and ending up in New Zealand. As they travelled through the islands different dances were shared. Some of the dances used a lot of energy and used some difficult moves.
Finally they arrived in New Zealand. They shared the taiaha with us all and then asked for some warriors to come and show us some of us their moves. Our school warriors were great. They had their own moves that they got to share with the audience.
Time had gone fast and the show was over. The show inspired our own practice that we had been doing getting ready for the Kapahaka and Polynesian festival.
