Bush dancing in schools since 1981
Since 1981, The Bushwackers Dance Album has given rise to a generation of Australian school children who learned to dance, leap, skip, hop and glide to Bushdancing tunes in playgrounds and school halls across the nation and beyond.
Now Bushdancing is being learned by the next generations of Aussie children of all backgrounds and cultures. The ‘Heel and Toe Polka’, ‘The Waves of Bondi’ and ‘Strip The Willow’ still rings out to the music of the Bushwackers in Aussie schools across the country.
