The Village Festival is Australia’s travelling arts festival: a heady mix of music, mayhem and mesmerabilia wherever it goes.

Dance With Me
Dance With Me lets you learn some fun partner dance routines with dancing duo Bec Reid and Timothy Harvey. There’s a Gypsy Tap Progressive, a Salsa and a modern street dance.
On-line instructional videos allow you to choose one of the parts and learn the steps for each dance on-line at your own pace. Simply choose Part A or Part B for each.
There are also sessions in Collingwood through October where Bec and Tim can teach the steps in person. And it all comes together at the Edinburgh Gardens Village Festival over Cup weekend. The full story.
