ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Yugambeh Language Region and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People of the Gold Coast and we also acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Arakwal people, the Minjungbal people and the Widjabul people on the lands in which we teach. We recognise their continuing connection and contributions to country and culture. We pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that the core dances we teach, perform and share come from African American and Black culture, as does the jazz music we love. We acknowledge that we do so without lived experience of this culture and are deeply grateful to be able to experience this amazing art form. We endeavour to continue educating ourselves about the historical, political and social context from which jazz and lindy hop grew, and in which it exists today. Understanding this helps us to honour the roots of the dance and music.
