Country Dancehall Project

There’s nothing quite like a night in a country hall, full of live country music, laughter and a floor full of dancers. The Country Dancehall Project rolls into Malachi Gilmore Hall for a night that takes everything great about a classic Aussie bush dance and gives it a modern country kick.

Calling the dances is “Padre” John Healey, who’s been at it for 40 years. He’ll walk everyone through the classics, the Heel n Toe Polka, the Gallopede, the Hokey Pokey and a Virginia Reel with Strip the Willow, so grandparents, grandkids and everyone in between can take a turn on the floor together.

But instead of Waltzing Matilda between dance sets, you’ll get live music from the next wave of Aussie country talent.

Come see how the Country Dancehall Project is keeping the bushdance culture alive and kicking.
