Cane Country Squares

This years annual Dance For Heart fund raiser was held on Friday 2nd of May 2025. Funds were raised on the night from the door takings and a raffle for a huge fruit tray. There was also a door and lucky spot prise. This year the fruit tray was won by Dot. We had a number of apologies from dancers with other commitments and a few illnesses on the night. Dancing was still fun with one square on the floor all night with different dancers swapping in and out. The Tuesday learners were invited to join in on the night so brackets alternated between SSD to suit the half way mark they had reached, Mainstream and Plus. Most dressed in red or with a heart theme and we got to see Matt in his fancy heart pants with matching tie. The funds raised will go towards supporting the Heart Start Cornish Walking Track Program in Bundaberg. With Jo L away, Sandy ran supper with the additions of Kingston biscuits and apple slices.

Enjoy your Easter break. There is no dancing tonight for Good Friday but we will be back dancing on Tuesday 22nd and next Friday evening the 25th, on ANZAC Day. In the lead up to Easter we had our Easter Bonnet / Hat nights on Friday 11th and Tuesday 22nd of April. Friday night included some visitors staying in the area for a holiday and a surprise visit from Nev and Bev McLachlan. We also had a dancer return to square dancing after 20 years, who picked up Mainstream and Plus like riding a bike.  Nev helped Matt rest his voice and treated us to a singing call that you will see in our videos of the night. Ginna had the most impressive hand made Easter hat with a rabbit wrapped around a huge carrot. Friday night supper included some cupcakes, a caramel slice and easter eggs and Sandy read out a couple of poems. On Tuesday night the hats came out again, with some extras on the table for anyone to wear if they wished and didn't bring their own. The night also included two lucky spot pr...

February saw our return to dancing for 2025 and our now regular stand at the Bundaberg Move It Expo on the 16th. This year was our first time at performing a demo at the Expo. A high energy team showed off the basics of square dancing and the exercise potential for the mind and body.  Matt started with the 126 beats per minute, Move It, hoedown and explained while calling, that he was running the routine while the dancers had learned each of the movements, not the routine. This has been cut into a short promo ad which you can see below.  Next Matt ran a significantly faster hoedown followed by a signing call,  Troublemaker. To see the full demonstration you can go to our You Tube channel playlist . Thanks go to Matt, the dancers and others who helped at the stand for making it a great club promotion. The following Tuesday was the first of our three Come and Try nights. We have had eleven people come and try square dancing over that time. The final night included a surpris...
