Don’t you ever wish you could travel back to the Saturday night dance? Take a spin across a glassy floor, to a swinging live band under sparkling lights?
Dance Makers Collective present the Saturday Night Social: a night for dancing to live music played by beloved Riverina bands!
About the Social
Playing in Cootamundra and Ganmain, the dancers will come to you during the week for a free participatory workshop where you will get the chance to learn some dance choreographies and get in the spirit of the night. Then, on the Saturday night, a local band will light it up with tunes from the past, blasting us back to a time where a dance social was the essential event to meet people and share in collective euphoria.
Dance Makers Collective will facilitate the dancing to get the whole room involved, keeping the energy high and the spirits higher. They will be joined by the Lock Stock & Bingle band at the Arts Centre Cootamundra (as part of the Festival of Turtles), and the Tin Shed Rattlers at the Ganmain Hall.
Whether you have a dance partner, like a night out on the town, or have a boogie in your bedroom, The Saturday Night Social is the place for you!

About Dance Makers Collective
Dance Makers Collective is Western Sydney’s professional dance company and the only collective-led dance company in Australia. Established in 2012, the company comprises nine professional dance makers who have worked for major dance and theatre companies from around Australia, touring major productions internationally. Together, Dance Makers Collective create exciting contemporary dance works with “imagination, thoughtfulness and even a sense of humour” (Jill Sykes, Sydney Morning Herald). Their touring production, Dads, was shortlisted for Outstanding Achievement in Independent Dance at the Australian Dance Awards.
DMC’s mission is to build dance communities, and the work we create focuses on bridging gaps between contemporary dance, social dance, community and storytelling through deeply moving dance experiences. DMC is committed to developing appreciation for dance by making dance accessible to as many people as possible, we make shows, run workshops and regular programs, skills development and training for children, adults, pre- professional and professional artists and senior members of our community.
