Men's and Women's Dance

The men's Wampana dance is often supported by women.

Youth Dance

The dances performed by the youth explore basic themes drawn from the ceremonial concepts seen in the adult dances.

2016 Milpirri theme for the red group was Jintangka (Unity).

Stick Together, Don't Break Apart. We all have a different part to play. The law is what keeps us together and helps us understand our place in that system.
