The brand-new dance production will play at Melbourne, Maryborough, Toowoomba, Brisbane, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, Canberra, Wyong, Sydney, Penrith and Chatswood.
The ground-breaking show combines Indigenous culture and music with classical ballroom and Latin styles - from waltz, foxtrot, samba, rumba and tango, to swing and jive.

In addition to Mitch's original work, the ensemble will also perform classic Australian rock tracks by Midnight Oil, INXS, AC/DC, the Bee Gees, Cold Chisel and Archie Roach - all performed in the Gamilaraay language.
The show has enjoyed a seven-month season on Broadway, two seasons on the West End and has toured thirty countries and over 150 cities. It has also performed over 6,000 shows for Norwegian Cruise Line since 2012.
Following its east coast run, the show will embark on its 11th World tour.
