More than 6,500 New Zealanders set a world record for the largest haka dance in a single session.
New Zealanders have set a world record by dancing the haka, a traditional Maori dance, for the largest group of people in the world.
New Zealanders have broken a world record for the largest group of people dancing the haka, a traditional Maori dance, at the same time, with more than 6,500 people. The previous record was set in France in 2014 with 4,028 people.
The event was held at Auckland Stadium and although an official count was initially not completed due to the large number of attendees, Guinness World Records observer Brian Sobel announced that the number of attendees had definitely surpassed the previous record of 4,028 and would set a new world record, before the official attendance was confirmed at 6,531.
The Haka is a traditional dance of the Maori warriors. In the past, it was often used to intimidate opponents during battle. The dancers, whether men, women or children, must roll their eyes, stick out their tongues, slap their arms and stamp their feet. Currently, the Haka is often performed at important events in New Zealand. This type of dance is widely known because the New Zealand national rugby team, or the All Blacks, often dance the Haka before every match in order to intimidate their opponents.
