Te Aora Ah

New Zealand
This waiata (song) is at least 100 years old and is often sung as a response to a speech at a gathering (hui). The dance uses the traditional wiri wiri Maori hand movement. The image of the wiri is of the slight trembling of tree leaves in a breeze, signifying the awakening of the spirit up through the body which stands between and connects earth with sky.
