Two Art Centres from the Tiwi Islands, Munupi Arts and Crafts Association from Pirlangimpi and Jilamara Arts and Crafts Association from Milikapiti, unite to perform the vibrant 'Yoi' (Ceremonial Dancing), showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Melville Island's Tiwi community.

Dancing or yoi is a part of everyday life on the Tiwi islands. Tiwi inherit their totemic dance from their mother, e.g. magpie goose or scaly mullet. Dancing plays an important role in ceremonial events, for example, during the Pukumani ceremony the dances performed reflect the relationship to the deceased.

Narrative dances are performed and can depict everyday life or historical events. The bombing of Darwin has been portrayed through song and dance as have many other significant events. Singing always accompanies dancing and new songs are continually being created.
