The Haka, a traditional Māori war and ceremonial dance, is widely popular in New Zealand ... and it looks like it's soon going to be all the rage in Saudi Arabia, too.
Over the weekend, Saudi folk group Nasem Alshamal performed the dance at Riyadh Park Mall, followed by the kingdom's traditional Al-Dahha moves. The Saudi war dance is similar to the Haka in that it was also performed during war battles throughout the country's history.
The performance was filmed by director Hamood Al Shammry at the local mall and is part of a short film pertaining to the New Zealand mosque terrorist attacks back in March.
The film was shot in Saudi Arabia and is set to be screened soon.
In the clip, the dance group can be seen performing the Haka first and then putting on an Al-Dahha show.
Social media users thought the integration of traditional Saudi and New Zealander war dances comes as a gesture of love and peace at a time when it's much needed.
Footage capturing the fusion made the rounds on Twitter earlier this week and quickly caught people's attention.
"This is a genius idea," one twitter user wrote.
"There are many other ways to show our support besides this foolishness. This is a big step backwards and the message will not leave this mall," another online user argued.
The attack in New Zealand daunted the world in March
A gunmen opened fire "for ten to 15 minutes" in two New Zealand mosques - Linwood mosque on Linwood Avenue and Al Noor mosque on Deans Avenue - in March, leaving over 50 people dead and 20 others seriously injured.
New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern won the respect of millions around the world when she wore a black hijab when meeting members of the Muslim community following the shootings. Muslims and non-Muslims, including Ardern, appeared in hijab in solidarity with all those affected by the horrific attacks.
The hashtag #HeadscarfForHarmony was launched as support for all victims and Muslims - who, more often than not, suffer from terrorism - around the world.
