All the music at Bundanoon DanceFest is LIVE, which makes it a wonderful experience for both dancers and musicians. The music is organised for each workshop by a lead musician (biogs are here) and when they have prepared the music it will be available for viewing and/or download.
For musicians, attendance at the Bundanoon DanceFest costs a modest $30 to cover insurance and supper costs. You, and the callers of course, make the weekend happen for the enjoyment of the dancing community. You are welcome to join in the dancing at dance workshops and dances when your musical talents are not required, or alternatively retire to the warmth of the Hotel fireside and enjoy a musical session.
At the evening dances there will be a flow of musicians required with the particular caller's musicians taking front centre stage for that segment. Movement on and off needs to be streamlined so your cooperation is sought here.
