"This event was such a wonderful day performing on Country in front of a lot of our elders and members of our community,” group spokesperson Sharon Mason said.
“The dancers got to show off their beautiful ocean blue dresses, which were made by the inspirational women from Montague Arts and Crafts Society that are also based in Narooma.”
Last year at the DanceRites Competition held at the Sydney Opera House, the Djaadjawan Dancers where disappointed they didn't get to showcase an important dance known as the "Muryira" or the Whale Dance.
“But we did at Laperouse and received great confirmation from our elders when we performed this it was standing ovation and the nodding of heads which gives us the "yes" we are doing the right thing and our stories are right,” Ms Mason said.
"Receiving confirmation from elders is a great privilege and honor and allows us to continue our journey practicing our ancient culture."
Meanwhile after their performance, the dancers were approach by a company Walangari Karntawarra and Diramu Aboriginal Dance and Didgeridoo based in Sydney to perform for Earth Hour and the Sydney Easter show.
The three dancers who were invited were Sharon Mason, Ashweeni Mason, Alana Booti.
“I would like to congratulate these ladies for their time and effort and there great energy they put out when performing,” Ms Mason said. “This is well deserved.”
Now the dancers are concentrating on the River of Arts opening and the Quiyon Festival, as well as the Four Winds collaboration with the well known Stonewave Taiko drummers.
