Kahurangi Dance Group

We were lucky to have the Kahurangi Dance Group perform on Tuesday 17th June. They were absolutely amazing, the performance was incredibly professional with the children highly engaged the entire time. They used song/waiata and dance to tell the story of Matariki,showcasing the short poi, the long poi, mau rakau, taiaha and maori games.
