The Bundanoon DanceFest

The DanceFest is a major achievement of Bush Traditions and will be maintained and developed under the newly formed Australian Social Dance and Music Inc (AUSDAM). The new committee has a strong dance focus which is appropriate for this and similar events. The accumulated funds derived from the event will be transferred to the new organisation to enable it to carry on the work initially undertaken for BT Inc.

The Bundanoon DanceFest was established in 2009 following a successful dance excursion to Norfolk Island.  It has been recognised as a social dance event of international standard. There have been regular workshops on Australian Traditional, Australian Contemporary, Ballroom and Old Time, English Country Dance, Scottish Country Dance, Irish Ceilidh and Set Dance, American Contra, Estonian Dance, Bavarian Dance, and Scandinavian Dance. Additionally there have been feature workshops on Morris Dance, Line Dance, Quadrilles, Tango, Molly Dance, Blues Dance, and more.

As the event coordinator since its inception I am pleased with the changes and look forward to future possibilities.

David Johnson

President AUSDAM
