Great Southern Dance acknowledges that we dance and create on Aboriginal land and constantly learn from the wisdom of First Peoples. From our base in Nipaluna/Hobart we pay respect to the muwinina people, the traditional and original owners who have passed before us. We acknowledge Elders past and present and we pay respect to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional, original and continuing custodians of this land.
