It is not necessarily disrespectful but you do need to know what you are doing and why.
Ideally are you able to make contact with a music teacher or kapa haka teacher from NZ?
I think you would benefit from showing your students some of the footage of students performing kapa haka (on youtube). These kids are about 11.
Also, please do not rely on the Wikihow. Please do not teach your students that any girls doing a pukana are "expressing their sexuality"!!! That is misleading. Here is a resource from New Zealand's educational system, which talks about pukana in a way that is appropriate for 11 year olds.
