Bundanoon Dance Fest 2015

Hi Dance Callers

It is early planning stages of Bundanoon DanceFest and I am seeking workshops for the programme. If you could let me know if you are interested and what you might offer this year that would be great. The basic format remains the same with a venue variation required by the Sunday Bundanoon Markets.

The Sunday night split we used last year gave us mixed responses and a fairly even balance of for and against, so I'm not sure which way to jump this year.

A quick reply would help with planning before preparing the publicity needed for the National. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bush Traditions - Bundanoon Dance Weekend - Queens Birthday Long Weekend, 5-8 June 2015

The Seventh DanceFest, Online bookings are open.

In recent years the numbers attending have warranted a second venue for the early half of the evening dance. The school hall is close by the main hall and it is the plan to be flexible and expand the evening program, if the numbers warrant it, by using the School Hall in addition to the main Hall for the early part of Saturday &/or Sunday evening, 7.30 – 9.30 pm.

Accommodation is always tight, so plan ahead. Check the website; the information has been and will be updated. The YHA has not been pre booked this year but they may or may not have spaces. It may be worth a call.

The Pony Club is available to us this year. The cost per night is $25 double/ $13 single for a powered site. An unpowered site is $15 / $8.

It would be useful to send me an email if you intend to camp so that we have an idea of numbers. There is no need to book as there are a good number of spots. Your cash will be collected on site.

Have a look at Bush Traditions Web site for more ideas on accommodation: www.bushtraditions.org/dancefest/accomm.htm
