There are many Indigenous dance groups in Australia that perform to keep their culture alive, to keep passing on stories to our young people and to teach non-Indigenous people about the diversity of Indigenous Australia. Learning about Indigenous society and culture through dance is challenging for westerners but is achievable if open minded. For Aboriginal tribes dancing is used to tell stories of their past, animals and the dreamtime. These dances are an important part of their culture. Indigenous people have been dancing since the beginning of time, and traditionally would have danced often.
