Torres Strait Islander dancers at Laura (5) Video

Torres Strait Islander students from Djarragun College, an indigenous school near Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia, perform traditional dances during the Laura Aboriginal Festival in Laura, southern CapeYork. This is a mixed group of boys and girls from different islands. The dance is from Boigu Island, in the far north of the Torres Strait. The song is by Afa Anau and the dance is choreographed by Thomas Matthew. It is about going out by boat to an island called Warrulkawa (Turtle Island), going along the Papua New Guinea coast to Dauan.
