Thanks for uploading this. I am from Mongolia and watching it for few times. This is really cool. I will be performing Australian Aboriginal dance during school international week. I just need to learn this leg movements.
Look at the pride and precision with which this dance was executed! DONT let your culture die, stay strong, and show the world something they will not forget!
I think Australian Aboriginal culture is so beautiful and unique. Ancient story telling at it's best. The unique sound of the didgeridoo so awesome! ALL Australians should take great pride in the amazing indigenous culture that is uniquely Australian. Just like the Kiwis and their pride in Maori culture, with the Haka for example.
This dance was freakin' awesome...and these were old dudes! Just imagine what the younger men can do!! I'm not an Aboriginee but I'm still a black....a black sista that is...from VA, USA. Blackfellas gettin' down!! I find myself movin & boppin to their rhythms, like I want to get in and dance too. I'd love to visit Australia and watch these people break it down!! Go Australian Blackfellas!!!
OzPix Oh, i admire, love & respect our Indigenous culture in all it's totality. So much richness, such history & i hold our Indigenous people close to my heart. :-)
@rsa95 Aboriginal dances are mostly based on "Legends of the Dreamtime" - or aspects of hunting. This dance is more the latter with dancers basing movements on the Emu, Brolga & Kangaroo
It's pretty awesome how this music can be appreciated regardless of cultural, ethnic or linguistic heritage. It speaks to us in the most basic and intrinsic of emotions.
i can't get enough of this i really love it i've hit the reply button 100 times since yesterday this is really amazing just makes me want to know more about them
I am aboriginal and like i care so much about being an aboriginal i really want to be an aboriginal artist and i loved the dances sooo much don't doubt i do
I love this! I do not get tired of watching It. Somehow, it makes me feel joyful. I hope there will be more to come, in the near future. Thank you for posting.
Loving the dancing and clap stick music. I was hoping to show the video to the kindergarten children and wondered if someone could explain to me more about the dance. It appears that you are making moves like animals. Birds, emu etc. I would love to know more so I can pass on this knowledge to the next generation. Thanks
We only photographed the show. Our guess would be the first guy with his hand pointed out from his head is probably an Emu. The hopping would be Kangaroo's or Wallaby's and the flapping arms could be a big bird like a Brolga. Maybe other viewers can add to this...
and to prove im aboriginal i come from a tribe called Cuma and in the dreamtime aboriginal people form different tribes came to a dance and they had to do their tribe dances and the person that dances the best wins
By the way we really loved watching this video. My son would like to share it with his class during NAIDOC week, and to show respect to the blackfellas, their land and culture ... But we can't figure out who this is from the comments... He's very curious as my godfather Clockie is from Badu, his ten uncles are from TI. Thanks to anyone with hints :)
I would like to show this performance to my students and explain how they keep culture alive throw dance and their dance movements sometimes portrays animals and nature. To get it correct, can someone help me what the exact animal is being portrayed by the amazing 4 dancers?
@sn1pe352 Do a search on Peter Best and you may find the track you are looking for on his Croc Dundee album as he was responsible for all the music in the film...Good luck
