DanceSite is the annual regional showcase for Artback NT’s Indigenous Traditional Dance Program (ITDP).

DanceSite celebrates the diversity of Indigenous culture in Australia and gives performers an opportunity to gather and share their stories which maintains their unique heritage by passing on the dances and songs of country to younger generations.
