Sesere eeye dance

Sesere eeye is a traditional song and dance from the Torres Strait Islands in Northern Australia. It has become popular with choirs around the world. In this video Torres Strait Island performers Sani Tounsen and Uncle Percy teach Young Voices of Melbourne how to do the dance, and talk about the background and meaning of the song.

Somehow I think the torres strait islanders (you know the ones that CREATED the song and dance) would know the dance and song better then you would

Don't you think there could be different variations of the dance?

Percy Jackonia has a very long and distinguished dance career. As a elder and teacher he has been very influential. I suggest you read this:

(you may need to google it as this won't let web addresses be posted)
I remember Percy leading the TSI Dancers out at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, the man could dance!

I don't know who you are or where you are from but I do find it interesting that you say it is all wrong! Uncle Percy was a dancer for decades: he comes from Badu, he was an original member of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Dance Company, a cultural educator in Cairns Public schools and a dance teacher up there and a cultural advisor at Bangarra. When you say "he" I suspect you are referring to Rumboy1000 whom I suspect is just a troll.

Wrong wrong wrong.. The action is all wrong..
