As part of their study of New Zealand, students in Coach Stinson's classes were divided into groups to choreograph and perform a Haka dance. A Haka is a traditional Maori dance involving vigorous rhythmic movements, stamping, chanting, and facial expressions. A Haka can be performed for various events, such as welcoming visitors, inspiring warriors, a wedding, a funeral, and other important occasions.
