Melbourne Colonial Dancers Inc.

Tunes suitable for playing for Australian colonial and folk dancing have been researched and collated into book form for the use of band members. Seven books of tunes have been produced to date. The Band aims to -
  • encourage interest in Australian traditional dance music
  • play a part in preserving the traditional dance tunes
  • provide an opportunity for musicians to experience the playing of music in dance rhythm and format.

Interested musicians should contact the Music Co-ordinator


 

The Melbourne Colonial Dance Band provides live music for our dancing on the second Wednesday of each month. Recorded music is used on other Wednesdays.
