Welcome to the Australian Traditional & Bush Dance Society of South Australia website. Take a look around and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have. A chart of the website’s structure features at the bottom of each page and in the main menu.
Here is a little bit of information about who we are.
Our classes are open to people of all ages who are willing to give it a go! Come with a friend or on your own – you will find a warm welcome at the door – and your first Tuesday night is free! See the ATBDS Diary Dates on this website.
All dances are walked through by competent callers and the programme includes English Country Dancing, Australian Bush Dancing, Scottish Country Dancing, American Contra Dancing, some Old Time Ballroom and more.
For comfort and safety, soft flat-soled shoes are recommended.
Other activities during the year are an annual ball and other dances with invited bands. Games afternoons, mainly cards and board games starting with a shared meal, are popular with members. A camp is held at a different place each year around October with the wind-up event being a pre-Christmas picnic.
Membership is AUD$10.00 per year and Tuesday night classes $8.00 per attendance.
