Spring Stomp Hoedown

A Free Night of Country Fun for All!

Dust off your boots and get ready to swing, stomp, and scoot because we're hosting the Spring Stomp Hoedown, and you’re invited!


This free, all-ages, all-abilities celebration is proudly brought to you by participants of our Place Based Abilities program that is a fantastic FREE capacity-building initiative for neurodivergent youth.


Kick Up Your Heels to Live Country Music

Our country party soundtrack will be in the talented hands of local favourites Aaron and Chloe from Honey Duo, performing a crowd-pleasing mix of classic and modern country tunes.


Professional instructors from Rock N Roll Dancesport Australia and Dancin’ Fun will keep the dance floor buzzing, leading you through everything from rock ’n’ roll barn dancing and boot-scootin’ boogie, to red hot salsa, fireball, and more. Whether you’re an experienced dancer or a first-timer, there’s something for everyone with adaptations to suit all physical abilities.

 

Food, Fun & a Relaxed Space When You Need It

All that dancing is bound to work up an appetite, so we’ll be serving free hot dogs alongside a spread of tasty, Western-themed finger foods.

Need a break from the action? Step into our quiet room, where you can enjoy calming country-themed crafts in a relaxed, low-stimulation space that’s perfect for recharging before heading back to the fun.

 

Dress the Part!

Pull on your best casual country outfit. Yes, we’re talking cowboy boots, flannel shirts, denim… whatever says “yee-haw!” to you. We’ll have western-themed photo props so you can snap a keepsake from the night.

(Tip: Please leave the stilettos at home—flat shoes or boots will help protect our floors and keep you dancing comfortably.)
