Ngā Tai Ki Te Uru Registration Form

Kia ora e te whānau, and nau mai, haere mai ki Ngā Tai Ki Te Uru!

2026 is calling and we are stepping into it with full energy, full heart, and full pride! 🔥

We are beyond excited to welcome you into our kapa haka whānau. Whether you’re returning, reconnecting to your whakapapa, growing your skills, or stepping onto the floor for the first time you belong here. This is your space to stand tall, be proud, and move as one.

Our wānanga are held every second Saturday and they are more than just practice they’re about building confidence, strengthening whanaungatanga, uplifting each other, and celebrating who we are through waiata, haka, and tikanga. Expect good vibes, hard mahi, big laughs, and powerful growth.

If you’re not yet in our private Facebook group, let our admin team know so we can get you connected and ready to roll.

Your term registration helps us cover venue hire and resources to keep our rōpū strong, thriving, and moving forward into an incredible 2026.

Let’s make this year loud, proud, and unforgettable.
Bring the energy. Bring the passion. Bring YOU.

Ngā mihi nui and we can’t wait to see you on the floor! ✨
