Nov 6, 2009 - chineyginey, Is it true that the father (cameraman) has died ? I just watched the "Living Black" story about the Chooky dancers on youtube, and was impressed with the story. All the best success for the rest of the dance gang, and sympathies on the loss of your friend. It is inspiring to see how a small group of blokes can come up with an idea which takes the country, if not the world, by storm. In the process we can all have a bit of fun, and learn more of the culture behind them all.

Nov 9, 2009 - Im a teacher in nz and have just had the pleasure of two aboriginal training teachers in my class for a week. One of them showed my kids this post and they luvd it. We've been doing it every morning as part of our warmup routine (before dreaded maths) and it has become more popular than zumba and tae bo which we usually do. Thank you so much for posting and my class and I would love to see more from the Chooky Dancers.

luvnmuzic1 Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - We're holding a recycleable fashion show at the end of the year, and my kids have designed garments with aboriginal dot painting and they're going to model them while performing this dance, of course we cant do it anywhere near as funky as these guys. Absolutely awesome. Its really sad that some people cant get past their own prejudices and see the beauty these boys portray. The guy in blue is my favourite and my sons performing as him. Next time we're in oz we'd luv to see them perform live

Aboriginal interpretation of Zorba the Greek. Frank Djirrimbilpilwuy from Milingimbi has been in the Indigenous Media Industry for many years and has been a long-standing member and supporter of the Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association, TEABBA Radio. He has worked Independently in Music and Film for many years also. As the man behind the camera and release of the video, Frank is also representing the dance group who call themselves "The Chooky Dancers". Frank has said that he filmed the footage at this years Ramingining Festival on the 30th September 2007 and knew it would be "something special" as soon as he saw the boys rehearsing. "The crowd went wild as you can see in the video, and the classic song Zorba the Greek has now become a hit overnight in the communities and now it seems, everywhere else too" Frank said. In just one week of being released onto "You Tube" by the staff at TEABBA Media Services, the video has received rave reviews been given a 5 star rating and has now been viewed well over 15,000 times. "The phones have not stopped ringing at the TEABBA offices, all from people who want to know more about the footage," a TEABBA staff member has said "even the honorable Kon Vatskalis with the Territory Labour party has commented on the video and suggested that they perform at the Greek Glenti next year." The Chooky Dancers are a group of 10 energetic young men who had healthy living in mind when they choreographed the performance. Franks son Lionel is the lead dancer in the video footage at front and center. "They (the Chooky Dancers) begun working on this just after this years Garma Festival in Gukula and worked very hard on it, they also do a Bollywood style performance which is also fantastic" Frank said. It seems that talent runs in Frank's family, with Franks Daughter also in an all Indigenous Line Dance Group also who Frank actively plays a role in. The "Zorba" video, which has not yet been given an official title, is just a sample of Franks works "I edited that footage on "imovie" at the TEABBA Media Services video workshop and now have plans to make a documentary about my Yolngu families connections to the Greek culture". Franks feelings towards the Greek culture have been reinforced by his daughter Pricilla, who requires constant care and is currently being cared for by a woman of Greek heritage in Darwin. "Lillian is a selfless woman, who cares for my daughter" Frank said " she takes Priscilla to church, weddings and all kinds of functions within the Greek community and they are all lovely people with strong cultural identity also which Yolngu people can identify to. I want to show through this documentary how 2 cultures can mix and this dance video is a fabulous start", Frank said. If anyone would like to enquire about Frank's work or "The Chooky Dancers", Frank can be reached on f_garawirrtja@yahoo.com or 0427 801 699 or if difficulties are experienced with getting through, messages can be left with TEABBA Radio on 89 390 400. The Chooky Dancers will appear on Channel 7s Australia's Got Talent which is currently screening on Tuesday nights.
