Corowa Festival of Dance Inc. committee held another very successful dance festival earlier this month with over 160 people attending the annual social dance festival in the Corowa Memorial Hall. The dance festival is held over 4 days and brings visitors to Corowa from all over Australia, and New Zealand. Dancers who visited the area explored many local shops and restaurants in between dancing.
Geoff Mallows President of the committee said, “the local social dance scene is very strong with a mix of social and competition dancers. The dance festival here in Corowa could not be as successful as it is without the expertise of local dance teacher, Anthony Pepers from Rutherglen. The festival is the most popular event of its type in Australia.” Geoff thank the Federation Council for supporting Corowa Festival of Dance activities. Festival guests were treated to delicious suppers with catering from Corowa Hockey Club, alongside the committee of 11 people working tirelessly to make the event a huge success. Dylan Forge, a talented local singer entertained dancers with performances at the welcome dance. Dylan enjoys working with the committee to provide entertainment for the festival of dance, as it connects the crooning easy-listening music he loves with the challenge of dance music. This year the Corowa Festival of Dance Inc Committee presented Life Membership to 4 very deserving individuals, all of whom were involved in establishing the Corowa Festival of Dance as a feature social dance event in Corowa; Heather Jackson, Brenda Tuddenham, Andrea and John Barwick. Heather Jackson was a committee member of the inaugural Corowa Festival of Dance along with her late husband Barry.

Heather has long a passion for all forms of dancing, she is a social butterfly, she still loves everything about dancing including frequent attendances at the regular social dancing nights. Brenda Tuddenham was a member of the inaugural Corowa Festival of Dance committee along with her late husband Ken. Brenda and Ken contributed many long hours of work the festival of dance, Ken hung the disco ball in the Memorial Hall, which is still used and enjoyed. Brenda is a creative genius, decorating the hall for social dancing creating magical dance experiences. Andrea and John Barwick are renowned across the social dance world, most especially for dancing choreography. Most dancers love the New Vogue Modern Waltz which was the first dance choreographed by them to be a huge success, and it remains so today. They have for many years and continue to support social dancing, in many ways. Patricia Gilbert accepted the awards for John & Andrea Barwick.
