NAIDOC Week children's cultural dance workshop

First Nations People have been performing cultural dance for hundreds of thousands of years. Dance is used to tell the stories of creation beliefs, connections to totems, to tell stories of ancestral heroes and to educate about country, kinship and cultural responsibilities. In this workshop participants will learn all about cultural dance and meaning behind the dances they are learning. Participants will have the opportunity to learn cultural dance and song in a fun interactive session.
