Thank you to all the organisers of the annual Lantern parade and whale welcoming at Adder Rock for our opportunity to come and be a part of a special time for us all on the island and along the coasts.
Dancing up the storm on Saturday 26th July was good fun... to watch, it would have been more fun up there. All the dancers were so confident and happy. They made us all proud, thanks to Josh for making the day one to remember with his Songs.
With at least 30 of us on the bus, the dancers were Jeleisha, Remona, Guyanna, Helen, Gavin, Valley, Amanda, Kyalla, Mirakai, Kevin, Reilly, Tiga, Tamirakai, Patrick, Jedda, Learna, Yulu, Huny, Sila, Shara Jeneequa, Eugene and Emit on Didge.
Deadly to see everyone dancing so deadly and knowing the song and dance!
Yulu Burri Ba - Dancers of the sand and the sea. This initiative is to address current shortfalls in Indigenous Cultural opportunities as well as assisting attempts to preserve both land and culture. The beginning of an expanding base for opportunity in the Cultural/performing Arts industry, we hope the dance group becomes a stepping stone or building block for young people to shape their own destiny.
