The haka is a traditional Māori war dance from New Zealand that involves a series of basic steps and movements. It typically begins with a stance called "whakataka" where participants stand shoulder to shoulder, feet apart. The dance includes vigorous foot stamping, rhythmic chanting, and expressive facial gestures, often featuring wide eyes and protruding tongues to convey strength and challenge. The movements mimic actions of war, such as war cries and gestures that represent the warrior spirit.
