  Music and dance are important to Aboriginal culture. They are used as part of everyday life and to mark special occasions. Songlines tell stories of the Creation and Dreamtime as Aboriginals made their journeys across the desert, while other sacred music is used in ceremonies. By singing the songs in the appropriate order indigenous Australians could navigate vast distances in the hostile desert environment.

  A very romantic tutu as by the 1930s tutus were usually shorter in length. The traditional tutu was made of 6 layers of tulle reaching the mid calf. By the 1930s dancers performed to different styles of music and this led to a change in the ballet costumes. The classic ballgown was a popular choice for female dancers.
