Bellarine all set to boogie

Creators of world famous cabaret and variety, Finucane and Smith, are making a return to Drysdale’s Potato Shed with a repeat performance of Dance Hall on Saturday, February 19.

Developed at the Potato Shed in 2018, Finucane and Smith’s Dance Hall has toured Victoria to great acclaim.

The structure is simple – the Finucane and Smith artists take the role of callers, choir leaders and on-the-floor enthusiasts, as the local community engage in dancing and singing; creating an active and joyous community night out.

The choice is yours to dance or enjoy the night from the comfort of your seat.

Like barn and bush dances of old, and salon, from French cabarets to Irish pub concerts, Finucane and Smith’s Dance Hall was born out of Finucane and Smith’s deep engagement with regional and remote communities.

It is a supper dance, a bring-a-plate celebration, a storytelling and dance extravaganza.

International cabaret star and Finucane and Smith director Moira Finucane said she was pleased to be returning to the Potato Shed next week.

“We’ve taken breathtaking variety, jaw dropping dance and irresistible cabaret all over the world … but the Bellarine is one of our favourite destinations, hands down, no contest,” she said.

“And this time, our line-up of international stars is joined by your local talent for a knees up like no other.

“You’ve got the best food, the best folk, and yes the beautiful belles and beaus of the Bellarine are going to shake their groove thang.

“From line dancing to Islander grooves, rock ’n roll to burlesque, Bellarine’s got talent. Grab your valentine, dress up, bring a plate and get ready for a great night.”
