Traditional Indigenous Dance

Embark on a spiritual journey into a world steeped in the Dreaming, with traditional dancers who share their spiritual, cultural and artistic identity in deeply inspiring performances. Artists include Djilpin Arts Dancers, Red Flag Dancers, Larrakia Dancers and Injalak Dancers.

Red Flag Dancers

Red Flag Dancers are from the remote Arnhem Land community of Numbulwar. Their dance is based on their story of the Red Flag. This story and dance was a feature of the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

The Red Flag Dancers present a spectacular sight and are some of the most gifted and talented dancers from the Top End. They have great pride in showing their culture to the outside world and have amazed audiences with the colour and vitality of their performances.

Djilpin Arts Dancers

Corroboree is one of the oldest forms of story telling for Australia’s Indigenous people – the songs and dances celebrate nyingiya, the spirit of the people.

The Djilpin Arts dancers from the Wugularr Community perform like no other troupe – they draw on the soul of Arnhem Land and dance from the heart, telling stories of
ancestral lands that have been crafted and handed down over generations.
