About Yidaki
Aboriginal Dance group Yidaki is a Traditional Aboriginal Dance performance group which promote Indigenous culture throughout Australia and the World.
Formed in 1992 under the artistic direction of Les Saxby, Yidaki has developed cultural programs involving Music and Dance designed to give better understanding of the Traditional Indigenous Culture within Australia.
The traditional Aboriginal dances and ceremony presented are representations of Dreamtime legends and ceremony. The Dreamtime legends of Australian Aboriginal people tell of the era of creation when the world and all the features of the land were formed by Ancestral Beings.
These Ancestral Beings sometimes assumed animal or human form or appeared as forces of nature. They interacted with one another and left their distinctive tracks in the form of hills, rivers, water holes and other features of the landscape, wherever they travelled.
Ancestral Beings also established laws for human interaction and proper conduct in Aboriginal society. Stories of the Ancestors have been passed down for countless generations in song and dance.
Aboriginal Dance styles vary across Australia, and is a telling example of the diversity in traditional Aboriginal culture.
