This standard asks you to show that you understand the distinctive features of Te Ao Haka — the Māori performing arts. You need to describe these features (like wiri, rere, takahi, and other movements), show how they work, and explain what makes them special and important. You don't have to perform on stage; you just have to demonstrate that you really understand how these features work and what they mean.
