Lakalaka Line Dance

Dancers form straight lines facing the audience or center of the room, standing shoulder to shoulder.

A leader calls out or demonstrates a sequence of coordinated arm and hand movements paired with simple footwork.

The whole line performs the movements together in unison, keeping sharp, synchronized timing.

Every so often the leader introduces a new movement phrase, which the group repeats until it is learned.

The full sequence is performed together from start to finish once everyone has practiced each phrase.
