Tena Koutou awesome humans,
Human Dance is thrilled to be working with Krystal Clarke (Ngāti Porou) in 2021 to bring Beginner level Kapa Haka classes to the dancers of Pōneke! We are so excited about this special opportunity to learn about Māori performing arts, have fun together and get inspired for our creative practices and human lives.
ABOUT KAPA HAKA CLASSES
he Human Dance Kapa Haka classes will allow participants to learn basic techniques and beginner level waiata (song), waiata-a-ringa (action song), and haka. Each month will have a different learning focus, so classes are booked separately for each month. Our experienced tutor Krystal Clarke will share her knowledge behind each movement and break it down in a way that all types of learners can understand.
This class is the perfect first introduction to the Māori performing arts repertoire, as each class will slowly build knowledge of the appropriate techniques and gestures within different types of waiata and haka. Through learning dance, participants will also develop an understanding of Te Reo Māori and the correct application of tikanga by learning of the origins behind different waiata and haka within the Kapa Haka repertoire. Krystal’s Kapa Haka students will learn that the performing arts are much more than just song and dance!
