DANCE RITES 2020
Join us online this year for the heats and finals of the DANCE RITES competition. Witness the powerful coming together of traditional customs, language and contemporary culture, with First Nations dancers from around Australia.
Heat Two is the Wildcard Dance and is open to any style, often reflecting our shared histories, with some groups telling old comical stories, and others exploring more recent stories, fusing music and song. Each heat will be broadcast in two parts.
