Bring a plate and get ready to dance with Finucane and Smith

Creators of world famous cabaret and variety Finucane and Smith prance back to Drysdale with their new work Dance Hall, kicking off the Potato Shed 2018 season on February 9 and 10.

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.

Director and international cabaret star Moira Finucane is asking locals to get ready for a great night.

“We’ve taken breathtaking variety, jaw-dropping dance and irresistible cabaret all over the world, to 15 countries of standing ovations and international awards. But the Bellarine is one of our favourite destinations, hands down, no contest,” Moira 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, the Bellarine’s got talent! This will be the Bellarine event of the year, so grab your valentine, dress up, bring a plate and get ready for a great night.”

The choice is in the hands of the guest to dance or enjoy the night from the comfort of their seat.

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

Finucane and Smith’s Dance Hall is a supper dance, a bring-a-plate celebration, a storytelling and dance extravaganza.

Running from 8-10pm both nights, tickets range between $30-$38 and can be purchased by phoning 5251 1998 or by visiting a City of Greater Geelong customer service centre.
