 Culture:An intimidating dance

【明報專訊】The Smarties are squaring off against Eason in New Zealand (新西蘭), but the battle ends prematurely.

“ Dr Panda: Taringa whakarongo! (Listen carefully!) ”

“ The Smarties: Waewae takahia, kia kino nei hoki! (Stamp your feet as hard as you can!) ”

“ The Smarties: A upane, ka upane. Whiti te ra. Hi! (Another step forward! The sun shines!) ”

“ MoMo: It seems we have won. ”

■ Culture tips

The Haka (哈卡舞) is a traditional war dance of the Maori (毛利族人), the indigenous people of New Zealand. It involves shouting and powerful movements, such as slapping one's hands against one's body and stamping one's feet in a rhythmic pattern. Maori warriors used to perform Haka to show their strength and to scare their opponents. It is still performed frequently by New Zealand national sports teams, most notably by the All Blacks (the New Zealand rugby team). Scan the QR code to enjoy a Haka performance by the All Blacks.
