A '''corroboree''' is a ceremonial meeting of [[Australian Aborigine]]s. The word was coined by the European settlers of [[Australia]] in imitation of the Aboriginal word ''caribberie''. At a corroboree Aborigines interact with the [[Dreamtime (mythology)|Dreamtime]] through dance, music and costume. Many ceremonies act out events from the Dreamtime. Many of the ceremonies are sacred and people from outside a community are not permitted to participate or watch.

In the northwest of Australia, ''corroboree'' is a generic word to define theatrical practices as different from ceremony. Whether it be public or private, ceremony is for invited guests. There are other generic words to describe traditional public performances: ''juju'' and ''kobbakobba'' for example. In the Pilbara, corroborees are ''yanda'' or ''jalarra''. Across the Kimberley the word ''junba'' is often used to refer to a range of genres. Corroboree and ceremony are strongly connected but different. In the 1930s Adolphus Elkin wrote of a public pan-Aboriginal dancing "tradition of individual gifts, skill, and ownership" as distinct from the customary practices of appropriate elders guiding initiation and other ritual practices (Elkin 1938:299). Corroborees are open performances in which everyone may participate taking into consideration that the songs and dances are highly structured requiring a great deal of knowledge and skill to perform. ''Corroboree'' is a generic word to explain different genres of performance which in the northwest of Australia include balga, wangga, lirrga, junba, ilma and many more. Throughout Australia the word ''corroboree'' embraces songs, dances, rallies and meetings of various kinds. In the past a corroboree has been inclusive of sporting events and other forms of skill display. It is an appropriated English word that has been reappropriated to explain a practice that is different to ceremony and more widely inclusive than theatre or opera.
Many small towns hold dances of the dreaming from time to time.
