Jeanette Wormald's Bush Band
The Jeanette Wormald Bush Band present a lively and enjoyable evening of entertainment for young and old! Traditional and contemporary bush dances are called by Jeanette with the emphasis on fun, audience participation and easy to follow dance directions.
Audiences are guided through traditional dances such as the Military Two and Waltz, and favourite bush dances including:
- Queensland Backstep (with optional kiss)
- Drongo (for those with a sense of fun and competition)
- Heel and Toe Polka
- Circassian Circle
We also guide audiences through original dances including the Wheat Belt, inspired by the SA Mallee wheat growing country.Traditional Australian and Irish Tunes are played by some of Australia's best fiddlers and acoustic instrumentalists.
"As co-ordinator of the State History History Conference recently held in the southern Flinders Ranges town of Pekina, I would like to acknowledge the brilliant musical talents of Jeanette Wormald and her Bush Band.
The group is exceptionally talented with a repertoire of significant range. All delegates commented on the high standard of their performance and the inclusiveness the band shared with the audience.
There were many who took to the dance floor for whom I'm sure, dancing or any kind of personal rhythm were never an attribute. Yet the strength of the band lay in its ability to arouse the onlookers and even the most muddle footed people to get up and participate.
The band's performance was a highlight of the Conference weekend. I would highly recommend the Jeanette Wormald Bush Band to anyone seeking to be entertained by an extremely innovative"
