Lily-Jane Martin introduced the dancers and Sharnesha Gatt explained the meaning of the dance.
The girls performed three dances and the boys Yidaki Group entertained with some fantastic animal noises played on their Yidaki.
Students, along with Uncle Owen, went around and shared conversations with the patrons of Gorrie Ban. The boys showed them their Yidaki and all their beautiful designs.
A big thank you for parents and care givers that supported this community event with transporting their children.
