DANCERITES 2023

On Saturday 25th November 2023, indigiTUBE partnered with The Sydney Opera House and live streamed DanceRites, Australia’s national First Nations dance competition, at Bennelong Point, a First Nations meeting place for tens of thousands of years.

There were hundreds of performers on the Forecourt for this free festival of live dance, music and community that celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
Since its inception in 2015, more than 1300 participants from 95 dance groups have joined this hallmark event that showcases the richness and diversity of First Nations culture.
Returning after a four year hiatus, DanceRites was back for its biggest celebration yet with over 22 groups participating across two categories of ‘Cultural Dance and Song Cycle’, where groups shared their local storytelling and language, and a second optional ‘Wildcard’ category for groups to showcase their unique style.
