Taonga (Treasures) is an energetic and visually stunning performance celebrating the unique traditions of New Zealand's Maori culture. The performance is brought to life through choreography, music and song.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

"It was a spectacular presentation – both educational and entertaining.
The children and the teachers absolutely loved the performance.
I would have to say that it was the best in-school performance I’ve seen in my entire career. The children asked me for the rest of the day to make sure you come back!
