Learning through movement
Aboriginal Dance workshops - Online Program
Our dance workshops are designed to run for 1 to 2 hours and provide an engaging introduction to Aboriginal culture through movement. Students explore the connection between traditional Aboriginal dance and modern contemporary styles, gaining a deeper appreciation for the role of dance in storytelling, celebration, and the sharing of cultural knowledge.
Each workshop includes:
- A guided warm-up
- Movement drills across the floor
- A short, age-appropriate choreographed routine
Workshops are tailored to suit the age and ability level of each group. Modifications are offered to ensure all students can participate safely and confidently, including alternatives for more physically demanding movements.
Delivered online via Microsoft Teams, these sessions are interactive, culturally enriching, and ideal for both primary and secondary school students.

Dance choreography - Custom Online Tutorial
Our dance choreography sessions run for approximately 35 to 45 minutes and are designed to support schools in celebrating Aboriginal culture through movement and storytelling.
Each routine can be customised to align with the annual NAIDOC theme or tailored to reflect a specific story—either from students' own experiences or their mob's cultural heritage.
At the beginning of the session, students are introduced to the concept behind the routine. The choreography is then taught in manageable sections, allowing time for students to learn the movement counts, practise with music, and build confidence step by step. A full run-through of the routine is completed at the end of the session.
Following the tutorial, you will receive:
- A private link to the video tutorial with lifetime access
- A copy of the music used
- Supporting documentation, including dancer positions and formation notes
Schools are welcome to perform the routine as part of assemblies, celebrations, or showcases. However, appropriate artist acknowledgment must be included either before or after any performance.
This program is ideal for both primary and secondary students and provides a meaningful way to engage with culture through creative expression.
