A new year, 2025

-

Welcome back to dancing in 2025. 

The Tuesday night group started last night at the new time of 6pm and the first Friday night group will start tomorrow at 6:30pm.

Coming up is the Come and Try Nights to start off the new learner program. 

The Come and Try nights are on Tuesday 18/2/24, 25/2/24 & 4/3/24. 6pm start till 8:30pm, alternating with the full SSD dancers. Bring a friend along and let them know their first night will be free.

We will also be performing a demo at the Bundaberg Move It Expo at the Bundaberg Multiplex from 12:15pm. Come and visit at our stand from 10am till 1pm on Sunday 16th of February.

The 2024 Photo Gallery is now up to date with last years event photos, including the recording night on Friday the 13th, Fridays Sport theme night, Tuesdays Graduation night and the end of year break up and Christmas dance for the Tuesday and Friday group.

The videos have also been uploaded to YouTube and you can find the links from our 2024 Club Night Videos or go direct to our YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/@canecountrysquares/playlists

I didn't take videos of the packed hall for the 2024 Free Christmas Dance so you will have to make do with the photos this time.

If you missed the end of year news letter, that explains some of the changes set for 2025, you can read it from the link here.

Our 2025 Dance Calendar also available under the News and Events Menu. If you want reminders of the very latest changes go to our Events Calendar page. You can add to this your own Google Calendar from the link at the bottom of the page.

The updated 2025 Dance Calendar will be available as soon as we have added the fun theme nights for the Tuesday Group. A rolling supper will start from next week on Tuesdays, with a kettle instead of the urn, to make it easy for you to make yourself a cuppa anytime. Our milk in the fridge will have our name written on it.

Return to dancing 2024

Our first night back for 2024 was postponed for a week while Matt was unwell.  Matt did a great job calling on Friday night, while also trying to save his voice for this weekend. For the 10th and 11th Matt is a feature caller at the 20th Anniversary of the Logan City Square Dance Centre.  We started the year on Friday 9th with two squares on the floor for part of the night. The ceiling fans ran flat out, but it was not as hot as it has been lately, so we didn't need to close up the hall to run the air conditioner. It was great to dance again and catch up with people we haven't seen since last year. Some are still away so Matt is looking for an extra angle to dance the left hand side at our Tuesday night learners group. We look forward to getting back to dancing with our learners. It may take a few weeks to finish off the SSD program before they move to the Friday night club dancing. On Fridays, Matt will teach them the extra movements that take them to the Mainstream Level....

Hawaiian night, September 2023

The 1st of September was our Hawaiian theme night. In the lead up to the night Matt spoke fondly of a Hawaiian shirt he had owned that Anita had thrown out. The theme gave him an excuse to buy a new one.  The new shirt had to meet with Anita's approval for wearing around town, so it was not as bold as he would have liked. A few flower leis got Matt's bright colour fix for the night.   Outfits worn on the night by dancers included bright and bold floral prints, a couple of grass skirts and of course, Hawaiian shirts and floral leis. It was nice to have a visiting dancer and a number of spectators on the night. A few people popped in looking for a different dance at another hall on Targo St. We might see them again at our learners class starting on the 12th of September. Follow the link to our 2023 photo gallery to see more photos of the night.

2023 Christmas Dance

Cane Country Squares 2023 break up and free Christmas Dance was held on Friday 8th of December. The hall was decorated and dancers arrived dressed for the Christmas theme. Two squares danced most of the night with the new learners joining in.  We had enough Plus dancers for one and a half squares with the half square getting up to dance at one point rather than just waiting for a chance to swap with someone after the first dance of a bracket. It was a festive atmosphere with Matt calling to plenty of Christmas songs. The raffle consisted of an amazing collection of Christmas Hampers and there was a bottle of wine going to each of the two lucky spot and door prize winners. The club's donated clothing was also available on the night and it was nice to see some of the items, picked up on Tuesday, already being worn.  Of course, supper was the expected, excellent spread of savoury and sweet Christmas treats. Thanks Matt, for a great year of dancing and thankyou to all who help set...
