Te Puia even has its own marae (sacred meeting house) & we watch a performance of Maori singing and dancing in here. We watch the women perform a poi dance which involves swinging small flax pom poms on long pieces of twine around themselves like majorettes twirling batons. We also get to see a haka which is a war dance performed by the men and involves a lot of foot stamping, sticking out and waggling of tongues and frightening stares. All very interesting, entertaining & a lot of fun.
