DUURUNU MIRU DANCERS
Duurunu Miru are a multi-generational Aboriginal dance group that tells story of the Dhawa/Thaua Country in the Yuin Nation.
They regularly perform and tell their stories around the region. They have danced at Dance Rites at the Sydney Opera House, Cooee Festival and every Giiyong Festival. Duurunu Miru is respected in the local community for developing leadership and cultural skills and sharing knowledge amongst young people.
Duurunu Miru Dancers are Giiyong Festival’s “home” dance group. They have performed at every Giiyong Festival since 2018 and Shaquille Aldridge from the group, curates our dance program.
