Dance Information

It denotes the geographical location of these countries in the Southern Hemisphere, situated below many other nations on the globe. The term is often used informally and is derived from the fact that, when viewed on a map, Australia and New Zealand are located below the equator.

Additionally, "Down Under" is sometimes employed as a cultural reference, capturing the laid-back and easygoing lifestyle associated with these Southern Hemisphere nations.
