65th Australian National Square Dance Convention 2025

Image
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

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....

Mad Hatter Tea Party - September 2025

Image
This months fun theme was the Mad Hatters Tea Party. The Friday group had their Mad Hatter Night on September 5th. We had visitors from Hervey Bay and Adelaide join us for the night, making two squares on the floor most of the night. Videos of the night have started to be uploaded  to our YouTube channel,  at https://www.youtube.com/@canecountrysquares The Tuesday group had their Mad Hatter Night on the 9th of September.  It is fantastic dancing with three squares on the floor. Most people brought their own Mad Hats or dressed in theme for the Mad Hatters Tea Party. A great deal of creativity went into lots of them. Those who didn't have a hat could still join in, with a selection of hats to borrow from the front table. Both nights also had a few special treats in addition to the usual biscuit selection. More photos from both nights can be seen in our 2025 Photo Gallery, https://canecountrysquares.blogspot.com/p/photo-gallery-2025.html .
