The KAAHC welcomes the Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre, the only professional dance company comprised of indigenous New Zealanders touring North America . Their performance will provide a glimpse into the history and fabric of Maori life- chants that trace family history back to the beginning of time; martial arts techniques that span generations; powerful songs with a forcefulness that springs from cultural pride and personal conviction. The Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre of New Zealand performers have a contagious energy that engrosses the audience while sharing a wealth of exciting cultural and tribal knowledge, to foster a greater understanding of a very unique culture.
