Dance Music for All Ages and Situations

Bush Dancing is good for you – not only as a fun form of physical exercise but, the way we do it, it is a tonic for the soul and the spirit. We draw on our expertise and humor to encourage ANY audience to feel free to interact socially in a respectful way.

We integrate easy dances from many cultural backgrounds into our programs and can get anyone dancing. That is probably why we have been sought after by such a diverse group as churches, yoga courses, disability groups and Psychiatrists conventions!

Dancing together is a wonderful way to affirm the spirit of a community. Bush Dancing is particularly good at getting all ages involved. Shenanigans are one of Australia’s best-known and well regarded music education groups now in their 30th year. They have been performing and teaching bush dance, world dance and multicultural music through workshops in schools and at community events.

Shenanigans Bush Band offer a single workshop and an evening bush dance combination; however we were fortunate to be able to commit two preparation sessions to this project, which was well worth it as students were well prepared. There was a lot of material that we could practice in between visits, using the Shenanigans CD’s. Students particularly like listening and dancing to songs and dances they had heard in the workshops in subsequent music classes.

The performance of the Bush Dances we learnt was a highlight with lots of laughter and new connections made between staff, students and parents. It was wonderful to observe the look of joy on the faces of the parents and children during the dancing.
