Aboriginal Islander Dance Theatre (AIDT) was the first dance company used to train Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students on their dancing career, and grew into a performance group. Originating in the National Aboriginal and Islander Skills Development Association (predecessor to NAISDA), it was based in Sydney, New South Wales, and operated from 1976 to 1998. AIDT's first international tour was in 1977 when Wayne Nicol, Michael Leslie, Richard Talonga, Lillian Crombie and guest artist Roslyn Watson participated in the African and Black World Festival of Arts and Culture in Nigeria.
