The 2026 Bundanoon DanceFest is proceeding as usual on the long weekend in June (Kings Birthday Holiday 5th to 8th June).

The changeover from Bush Traditions Inc to AUSDAM Inc should be seamless for both dancers and musicians while behind the scenes a much more active committee will be working to ensure the long-term future of the event.

Workshop Applications

Applications to run workshops is open now and until March 25th.

Putting on the Dance

Our Vice President, Heather Clarke is looking at running a day of workshops for dance organisers to be held on the Friday 5th June.

In 2008 a dancing tour to Norfolk Island was organised with Lance and Barbara Court being main instigators. Dave Johnson joined in and coordinated dance callers and musicians. 
On our return home the question was asked "What next?" and the Bundanoon DanceFest was started.

The Bundanoon DanceFest has become a highlight of the Social Dance calendar with dancers, callers and musicians travelling great distances to partake.
After the first event the take-away message from the feedback session was "Don't change anything!" and so the format has been constant with only minor tweaks.

Over the period 2009 to 2025 there have been a remarkable 346 workshops and 42 evening dances. This has been made possible by the underpinning support of the callers, their lead musicians and the many supporting musicians.

The support of the Bush Traditions Inc Committee during this period is both appreciated and acknowledged.
