Return to dancing 2024

Image
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....

Guest Caller weekend with James Reid

Image
Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th of August was a fantastic weekend of dancing at our hall at 89 Targo St in Bundaberg. It was amazing to have up to three squares on the floor on Saturday afternoon for the Plus session. We had a large group visiting from Hervey Bay Square Dance Club and a couple from South Australia.  The Bundaberg Regional Council Community Micro Grant Program provided $1000 to Cane Country Squares for our local dance weekend with James Reid as our guest caller.  James Reid has a wonderful voice and also treated us to a number of songs in the supper break on Saturday night. Sandy was very excited to hear James sing the Gambler which is one of her most requested favourites. Saturday and Sunday afternoons had a rolling supper. Saturday night had a more traditional supper break with raffles, lucky door and lucky spot prizes being drawn. Dancing to a different caller is always an entertaining challenge with an unfamiliar voice to tune into and new choreography. It also...

Hawaiian night, September 2023

Image
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.
