Mama Syb and the Bush Rats dance caller, John Wright has loved the music all his life and has been playing in Bush Dance Bands since the mid nineties. He will host a Family Bush Dance in North Maleny on August 7 that is guaranteed to be energetic and fun.
When bush dances are mentioned these days some people’s response is “Oh, I can’t dance.” With Bush dancing no experience is necessary. Bush dancing is not line dancing, square dancing, country music dancing but is taught as you do the dance. Grace and poise is not what makes it fun. Learning, making mistakes, and doing it together with other people is what makes it a memorable night. John Wright is a caller who makes it easy. He gets down among the crowd of dancers demonstrating, coaxing, joking, applauding them and laughing with them.
All proceeds from the night go to support the work of Friends of Ebenezer, a local group who have made it their job to raise money to look after a growing orphanage in Zambia. The Bush Dance is at the Macadamia Nut Shed, 209 Burgum Road, North Maleny. Turn up at 6pm for a delicious, affordable dinner. Dancing starts at 7pm. $10 per adult, $25 per family, $5 per child. Food and drinks extra. Contact Lenore – Ph. 54296194 or see the Friends of Ebenezer website for a location map and more information:
