Michaela Jeffries has just returned home from performing with the Wagana Aboriginal Dancers, an experience she said was unforgettable.

"People were in tears because they were so moved by our dance," she said.

"They were just so interested in Australian history. The English were so apologetic about the history but we told them it's all about reconciliation and that we're all here to come back together as one."

The group performed the Bangalang dance, meaning 'Autumn' in the Wiradjuri language.

Now in her second year of study at the National Aboriginal Islander Skills Development Association (NAISDA) in Gosford, Michaela said she continued to develop as a dancer overseas.

"We did workshops that included a choreography master class and a salsa class which were just fantastic and I got a lot out of them," she said.

When she wasn't shining on stage, Michaela made sure her passport racked up the stamps.

"We spent two nights in Dubai which was fantastic," she said.

"I also went to the markets which are pretty hot and cramped but I bartered with one of the owners and got it for half price."

The tourist sights of Glasgow and Edinburgh were also on the travel itinerary.

"Glasgow has very old beautiful buildings and the shopping there is great too," Michaela said.

"We visited Edinburgh castle, had a beer in a pub and went to Stirling Castle."

After flying back into Sydney last Thursday, Michaela will now resume her studies at NAISDA.
