Haka

Haka. What’s This Then?

Haka is what the Maori of New Zealand call their imposing war dance. A unified display of strength and skill, that is intimidating even to the most undaunted opponent. The purpose of this dance is to collect yourselves, feel courage through your group, standing tall and finding strength in community.

Haka was popularised by the All-Blacks, New Zealand’s national rugby team. They do the Haka before any match, intimidating their opponents with their demonstration of power, will and courage..”

Haka – How We Do It

Guided by our energised hosts, your team will first be familiarised with the background and heritage of the Haka. Then they begin with warm-up exercises for both body and voice before learning the individual elements step by step. Larger groups can be divided into teams and thereby create a competitive Haka experience. Which team is the loudest? Which is the most passionate? Haka can be celebrated both in- and outdoors, as part of employee day, team building exercises or as an impressive icebreaker at conferences.
