Haka Dancers and Jacob Cadelinia

“Haka”

 

Haka is an ancient Māori dance traditionally used on the battlefield and when groups come together in peace. It includes a riveting routine of body movements, rhythmic chanting, and even bulging eyes and tongue protrusions. It’s a fierce and invigorating display of Māori unity and strength.

The Haka Dancers will be led by Jacob Cadelinia of Grand Junction. Jacob was born and raised on the Hawaiian islands. He was taught to work hard and spread aloha whenever and wherever possible.
