Laura Dance Festival 2007
After attending the Laura Dance Festival for almost 20 years the Coen Dance Team (Allkumo) were finally victorious this year. The Allkumo dancers performed six dances; Welcome Dance, Crocodile Dance, Emu Dance,  Sugarbag Dance, Eagle Dance and Closing Dance.

Traditional costumes were made months in advance. Skirts were made out of Kupoi and Arkkunga, headbands and armbands were made from Thunka whilst Mut'tan was used as body paint.
