Haka - Haka (English spelling)
This is a traditional dance performed by the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand before battle. It is also known as a war cry in English, as the dancers clap their hands, stomp their feet and shout. This dance, which intimidates the enemy and inspires the warriors, played an important role in raising their morale and preparing their bodies. Today, it has become a common folk dance in New Zealand, and is performed at welcoming ceremonies, weddings, funerals, etc. It is also known for being danced by the New Zealand national rugby team (the All Blacks) before games.

ニュージーランドの先住民族マオリが戦いの前に行っていた伝統的な踊り。手を叩き、足を踏み鳴らして叫ぶことから、英語でウォークライ(鬨の声)とも呼ばれる。相手を威嚇し、自らを鼓舞するこの舞は、戦士たちの士気を高め、体を備えるのに重要な役目を果たしていた。現在ではニュージーランドの一般的な民族舞踊となっており、歓迎式典、結婚式、葬儀などで披露される。また、ラグビーニュージーランド代表(オールブラックス)が試合前に踊ることでも知られている。
