Aboriginal dance

Aboriginal dance is a vital cultural expression that communicates stories, spiritual beliefs, and ancestral traditions. Often performed during ceremonies, dances use movement, rhythm, and body art to connect communities with their land, ancestors, and mythology. These dances can symbolize creation stories, preserve history, and reinforce social bonds. The music, typically accompanied by traditional instruments like clapsticks and didgeridus, enhances the spiritual experience. Each dance is unique to a group or region, serving both as entertainment and as a sacred practice integral to Indigenous identity and cultural continuity.
