Torres Strait Islands Dances of Djarragun College

 Next

Boys from Djarragun College perform dances from Murray Island, in the Eastern Torres Strait during student graduation ceremonies. Among others they do the fast “Silent dance”, only accompanied by drumming; girls in school blazers jump on the stage to sprinkle powder on the dancers as a sign of appreciation; one of them actually slips on a dancing stick and falls off the stage!
