Prince Harry is one studly dancing warrior!

Dressed in a camo military uniform, 30-year-old British royal showcased some impressive moves on Wednesday performing a traditional Maori war dance, or Haka, with the New Zealand Army at Linton Military Camp, the largest army base in the country.

Harry is on his first trip to the country, a weeklong tour, before he returns to his native England in June to conclude his operational U.K. military service. He had previously visited nearby Australia, where he completed a month-long deployment with the Australian army.

Harry has showed off his dancing skills before, including during a 2014 trip to Chile.

"His commitment to the military and supporting those who have served in the armed forces will always play a central role in his life," the British Monarchy said in a statement.

"He has just spent a month with his Australian counterparts and is eager to also learn more about New Zealand's Defense capabilities before he returns to the UK," the statement continued. "The visit to Linton Military Camp provides an excellent opportunity for him to do this."

Harry met with several New Zealand servicemen and women, test-drove an All Terrain Vehicle and Light Armoured Vehicle, helped lift a Hāngi meal from its cooking pit for lunch and played in a touch rugby tournament with children of the military members who live on base.

He is set to spend the night in a nearby air force base.
