Butterfly Dance - Purple

Aboriginal people explains the spirituality of life in the from the stories of Dreaming. They explain the stories of creation, spiritual & physical aspects of life. In many cultures, Butterflies, represent the cycle of life (i.e. birth, death and transformation).

Joey Waitairie, a well-known artist from the grounds of Victoria, is a good musician and dancer. According to him, a Butterfly comes out of its caterpillar shell to find the meaning of life and death.  Aboriginal men and boys initiate the butterflies with shake-a-leg dance during their tribal gatherings and perform butterfly dance.
