Kahurangi Dance Group Performance - Matariki


Swish, swish, clatter, clatter went the flax skirts on the six Matariki dancers.  They were spinning their sticks around themselves.  When they spun their sticks around it looked like a propeller on a helicopter.  I like the story about the seven fish because I liked the beautiful golden fish.

 Matariki is a time when we celebrate the Maori New Year.  Tawhirimatea, the God of the Winds, cried and he caught his tears and he threw them into the sky and that's how the 7 stars began.
