Common People Dance Eisteddfod

COMMON PEOPLE DANCE PROJECT

It's the ultimate suburban dance battle

For the fifth year in a row Common People Dance Eisteddfod is back and bigger than ever! Eight teams from across South East Queensland will battle it out over two epic nights.

The mighty metro teams of suburban dance-gladiators from the North, South, East and West of Brisbane will battle it out, followed by a competition for South East Queensland. The heat is on and it is the decision of the judges to decide the winner of the 2023 Common People Dance Eisteddfod for all of South East Queensland!

It's the ultimate battle of the 'burbs so... slap on some sequins and come join the fun barracking for your favourite team.

COMMON PEOPLE DANCE PROJECT

Get ready for the time of your life...

You know those scenes in movies where the heroes are at a dance party and everyone just seems to know all the moves? Here’s your chance to take your passion, and make it happen!

Common People Dance Project invites you to join their free community dance workshops where you and your friends will learn some big fun dance routines that will then feature in Common People Dance Party events across Brisbane Festival. If you can't make the workshops don't fret - the Dance Parties will be full of guided routines so everyone can join in and become the main character in the 80's dance movie of your dreams. Forty-nine workshops will be held across Brisbane in seven community venues culminating in seven suburban dance parties.

Brisbane Festival proudly works alongside the following eight Neighbourhood Centres to make this happen: Bardon North West Community Centre, Benawarra Community Development Association, Sherwood Neighbourhood Centre, CO.AS.IT Community Centre, Sandgate and Bracken Ridge Action Group Incorporated, St. David's Neighbourhood Centre, The Community Place Stafford and the Vietnamese Community in Australia (Darra Community Centre).
