It's difficult to capture the emotion behind the cultural dances on show whilst visiting Victoria Island, but here is a taste of what we experienced. The dances on display were specific to the areas of each tribal memeber, and according to whether you are male or female. As you can see, their decorative attire is extremely colourful, and the female wore many cylindrical metal 'beads' on her dress - creating rhythmic sounds. At the end of the dance performance, our group was encouraged to particpate in a group dance for the three important 'totems' of the Aboriginal culture, corn, squash and beans.
