The Kahurangi dance is a Maori performance that goes from school to school singing and dancing sharing Maori traditions. The males first had this long stick and they twirled it, pounded it and pointed it, the females though twirled poi around and sang. They told us where they came from and what their treasures are. There were 2 females and 3 males, one of the males was the guitarist for the group. The whole school came round at different intervals, we were the year 7/8 classes. The rest were coming at a different time.
They showed us these short sticks called Tititorea and threw them to each other, they were white and red. A song started up and all 5 members threw sticks to each other and banging them together like symbols. Then they got 3 people up to swing the long sticks around. They kept on messing up and we all laughed."HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" echoed around the hall.
