Assembly: Both audience interaction and a touch of humor highlight this enthralling introduction to an ancient South Pacific culture. The Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre of New Zealand brings to life the heritage of the Maori people through its vivid performance featuring tribal music, dance and hand-crafted, traditional costumes. A native Polynesian culture with ancestral ties to Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti and the Cook Islands, the Maori have a rich history to share. The performance provides cultural, geographic and social information about the dances and music styles, and also features dances and songs of other Polynesian islands.

Note - the video displayed here is meant to convey the style of performance and artistic quality, and was most likely taken during a commercial public performance. The actual repertoire selected for in-school assemblies as well as specific number of performers in the company may be different.
