Dance of the Ancestors by Alwyn Hanson, Alwyn's Photo School Melbourne

Dance of the Ancestors is a single-day Samhain gathering on 2 May 2026, from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM at Warrandyte Community Hall, honoring ancestral lines through a Wurundjeri offering, community feast, Celtic Samhain history and myth, somatic guidance, dance journey, and sound bath with live musicians. Marking the midway point between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, the event emphasizes spiritual connection over costume partying, with participants encouraged to dress to impress. Organized by Dance Wave Australia, it acknowledges the Wurundjeri people as traditional custodians of the land. Tickets start from $33, with early bird options limited and various pricing tiers including concessions and special rates for under 18 and over 70.
