Weekend with Nev and Bev a success

Image
The Cane Country Squares dance on the 26th and 27th of October 2019 was enjoyed by local and visiting dancers. This was also the first dance event for some of our learners. Thanks go to Nev and Bev Mclachlan as our guest square dance caller and round dance cuer. On Saturday afternoon, Nev ran a session for Plus and Leaner Plus. We had a good turn out of dancers, keen to experience another caller and give Matt a chance to dance with us. Saturday Evening was our main event, starting with round dancing cued by Bev.  Nev continued the night with dancing for Mainstream and Learner Mainstream.  We had three squares on the floor for leaner mainstream. The evening also included supper, a raffle, lucky number and door prize. Sunday morning a dance was held for our new learners.

Demo at Yandaran School centenary

Cane Country Squares performed a Modern Square Dance demonstration at the Yandaran State School centenary on Saturday 5th October 2019. Although the day was a little hot and windy at times, Yandaran is a nice little country town to visit and great to support as part of their school centenary. We had a square plus a few extras to dance if needed or just to watch. It was appreciated that the organisers had provided a portable wooden floor. The floor was a little slippery so we could not really swing or twirl as some of us would have liked but much better than trying to dance on grass. Matthew Mills explained the basics of Modern Square Dance to the spectators and then called a hoe down and a singing call.
