Aboriginal Elder Cedric - Portrait of an Urban Aborigine
Aborigines use dance traditionally as a form of expression. The dances describe aboriginal communal life, human relationships, as well as the bond of the people with the land and other people.
Modern Aboriginal artists often perform these dances in public. However, they also keep many dances secret for their sacred ceremonies.
A body painting seen on aboriginal performers relate to their customs, laws and believes and seldom are just artistic expressions.
Many Indigenous dance groups perform in order to preserve their culture and customs and to pass these to young generation.
