Previous Torres Strait Islands Dances from Djarragun College

Young boys from Djarragun College perform dances from Murray Island in the Torres Strait, accompanied by singing and drumming during the awards ceremonies at the school: The boys march on stage and sing and dance; this inspires some of the older boys to join them. More join in for the fast ''Silent dance'' accompanied just by drumming. They march off the stage, but are asked back for an encore on their own.
