Our Top 6 Conference Energisers
1. The Haka
The Haka conference energiser is an incredible way to fire up your attendees and boost their confidence and motivation. Our talented performers of Māori descent will bring this powerful, ceremonial dance to any venue in the UK, teaching your audience the traditional Haka that Māori tribes once performed before going to war. This ice breaker activity suits any conference type and size, with flexible session lengths to fit your schedule.
After an awe-inspiring demonstration from our performers, you will receive a fascinating overview of the Haka’s history and cultural significance, leaving everyone with a deeper appreciation for this incredible tradition.
Then, it’s time to step out of your comfort zone as you and your audience perform the Haka together. You’ll learn the rhythmic stomps, chest slaps, fierce facial expressions and loud chants that make this dance so iconic.
The Haka conference energiser is an authentic, hands-on journey into the traditional dance of New Zealand’s indigenous people and is guaranteed to make your conference truly memorable!
