    Default Aboriginal dance

    Just watched Ernie Dingo on tv, he was at Bathurst Island. The clip was a baptism where a man and women burst out into a short impromptu traditional dance to celebrate the ceremony which I would have thought every Aussie would of been proud of to represent aboriginals
    The first thing i noticed was how natural and rhythmic their dance was.
    Then i thought of aboriginal footballers of all persuasions doing bad imitations of the hakea at foot ball matches etc, which has always made me cringe
    Read that when white man first tried to settle in the NT, they used to dance with the natives and quite enjoyed their dances
    So why cannot these organizations get a Bathurst native to show them how to do it properly instead of this contrived crap?
    Rant over and out
    There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Madness"

    Earnie started his career as an Aboriginal Dancer at "Australia displays" for tourists.

    He should be able to outdo the lot.

    The fist thing that came to mind.
    Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
