Groove Your Way Throughout 2023

Tired of the gym, and noisy night clubs? Then why not try a bit of community folk dancing?

Members revel in an assortment of Anglo/Celtic/Bush dances with a historical twist. Embrace your culture (even if you didn’t think you had one) and join the crew for a fun-filled evening of dancing. It’s social and absolutely non-competitive, but you can still be part of a team as you dance to the brilliant music of their band, Phillip’s Dog.

Community dance is important now more than ever, as people look for ways to connect. It encourages people to be more active, to socialise and develop creative and physical skills. Just a few of the physical benefits dancing can give are reduced stress levels, improved relaxation, stronger bones and muscles, weight control and a healthier brain. Research has shown that dancing is one of the very best forms of exercise. The dance group are also proud to be part of Moreton Bay Regional Council’s Healthy & Active program which encourages us all to exercise more. This makes classes very affordable at only $4 per session.

Join the group at the Farmers Hall in Samford on Friday evenings from 7:30pm -9:30pm on the following dates: 10th March, 14th April, 12th May, 9th and 23rd June, 14th July, 11th August, 8th September, 13th October and 10th November. The group will also be commencing a new series of dances at the Hills District Community Hall, 291 Dawson Parade, Arana Hills on Friday evenings from 7.30pm - 9.30pm. On the following dates; 24th Feb, 24th March, 28th April, 28th July, 25th August, 22nd September, 27th October and 24th November. Contact Heather on 3289 4707, or email heather@ historicaldance.au. Further details can be found on their website www.historicaldance.au

The Phillip’s Dog band look forward to providing music for community dance sessions that are set to arrive in the region this month.
