The 2026 Australian Heritage Festival theme, Change, invites communities across the country to reflect on how history has shaped us, and how we, in turn, continue to shape history. We have created two events to explore this theme.
Change Your Partners!
Dancing in the 19th century was all about changing partners! Social interaction was at the heart of dancing. In the early 1800s it was considered improper to dance with the same partner more than once in an evening! As dance styles changed, the roles of partners changed too.
Join us for an immersive experience as we dance through one hundred years of Brisbane’s dance history. We will teach the dances and no experience is necessary.
When: Friday, 24 April at 7:30pm
Where: Hills District Community Centre, 291 Dawson Parade, Arana Hills, Qld
Cost: $4.00 (thanks to Moreton Bay Council's Healthy & Active Programme)
