43rd Club Birthday Dance, March 2026

-

Our first event dance for 2026 was our club's 43rd Birthday, held on Sunday 8th of March at Kepnock Hall.

This is also our first time using the hall on Totten street, on a Sunday for all groups to combine in a social dance.

The hall was decorated in our club colours of Aussie Green and Gold with dancers also dressing in club colours.

Matt called to suit all levels of those attending and included a Plus bracket. A video of the signing call has been uploaded to our You Tube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@canecountrysquares.


We had a few apologies but still had two squares dancing. It was great to see some of our newest dancers attending and enjoying themselves.


Some of our most enthusiastic new members were chosen to cut the birthday cake. 

We also had the club's donated square dance clothing for anyone wanting to get some new outfits. The volume of items available are not practical to get out for every dance night, but the Kepnock Hall has plenty of space. 

If anyone is looking for something in particular, let Jo R know and it can be brought in to the next dance. The skirts will be available at this coming Tuesday dance by request.

After the supper break, when a number of dancers were still cleaning up, Sandy started dancing in the second square on her own. It was not long before the complete set was filled.

For more photos and videos of the mornings dancing, check out our 2026 Photo Galley and 2026 Video Library on our website.

Check out our Event Calendar page for coming theme nights and important dates. 

This Friday 13th is another Black Friday Theme. 

Remember there is no dancing on Good Friday, April 3rd.

Our following theme nights are the Easter Bonnet / Mad Hatter Nights on Tuesday, April 7th and Friday, April 10th.

Our next Social Dance is on Sunday, April 12th at Kepnock Hall from 10am till 12.

Dance For Heart 2025

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.

Fourteen members of Cane Country Squares attended the 65th National Convention at Morayfield Qld, from July 7th - 11th 2025. Eleven of those where registered dancers with three attending a National for the first time. It was a fantastic turn out with over 600 registered for the event. Plenty of fun and challenging dancing was on offer. The evening sessions included Rounds and Mainstream. Wednesday and Thursday morning and afternoon sessions covered Clogging, Round Dancing, Plus and Advanced level Square Dancing with different level workshops and intros. The Mainstream Styling Workshop on Wednesday was very well received with requests for this to be included in future events. This year, first timers met up to be welcomed to the Convention and receive a blue button badge to indicate this was their first National.  The new dancers I spoke to had a wonderful time and were welcomed into many squares of experienced dancers they had never met. The Round Ups were a new experience for many ...

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....
