Footloose Fun is based out of Brisbane, QLD, and services the South East QLD region.

Yes! At Northgate (Monday nights) and Caboolture (Tuesday nights). Head to the Classes/Services page for more info.

Generally, I am willing to travel anywhere within South East QLD for events, and into northern NSW. Events more than 30km outside Brighton, QLD will incur travel costs on top of listed costs, calculated on a case-by-case basis.
I travel interstate frequently for my journalism work, so feel free to get in touch even if you're outside these regions - I may coincidentally be headed your way! I'll use common sense to determine travel costs for interstate events... If I'm travelling straight past your town anyway, additional travel costs will not be incurred.

There are certainly a few little details to nut out when working out the logistics of an event. Here are some things to consider:
Date and time
Venue options (big empty space, wooden floor and stage are preferable but not essential)
Event duration
Public vs private event
Food and drink options (not essential, but a barbecue always makes things more fun)
Publicity
Please don't be overwhelmed reading this list. I've organised almost 100 line dancing events to date and am more than happy to help you through the process, to make the event the best it can be. Most things can be easily worked out over a 20 minute phone conversation... I promise it's not rocket science!
For further information on event options, visit the Services page, or get in touch with me.

Yes, absolutely! I charge a fixed price for the event, and this fee is the only money I collect. If the organising group/committee would like to charge a ticket fee for attendees and then keep the accumulated funds, that is completely fine with me.
- 07
ANY.
School fetes, country shows, community celebrations, workplace Christmas parties, birthdays, hens parties, rodeos, music festivals ... line dancing really can fit in anywhere (hooray).
- 08
Yes - I have all of the above documents/certifications. If you need copies for your records, prior to me running an event, please let me know.
- 09
Sometimes!
This is entirely dependent on the nature of the event, and remains the choice of the organisation which has engaged Footloose Fun to teach/run the event. Events such as big community events are open to the public, while celebrations such as birthday parties and workplace functions are generally invite-only.

Yes - contact me if you need a copy of it for your records.

The good thing about line dancing is it can be as easy or as tricky as you like it to be! Footloose Fun is focused mainly on teaching beginners who have never danced before. I teach dances which can be easily picked up by anyone and everyone... including those with two left feet.
While I come to events with a plan of dances to teach, I can easily think on my feet (excuse the pun) to change the trickiness level up or down based on how the crowd is faring.

Both! Community building is important no matter where you live, therefore Footloose Fun isn't confined to any geographical boundaries.

Ah yes, well done Mr/Mrs Detective, you got me!
Footloose Fun is fairly similar to Hoedowns For Country Towns, in the way that both have been designed with the aim to bring people together through the humble art of line dancing. HFCT was mainly a one-year venture though, back in 2022, and will only run a few sporadic events going forward. HFCT was also a partnership between myself and co-founder Kate Strong, whereas Footloose Fun is a one-woman-show (don't jump to any negative conclusions, we are of course still friends, we just no longer live out of a car together travelling Australia).
And, while HFCT was focused on rural areas, Footloose Fun is a service for people in all communities, whether they are in the big smoke, the back blocks, or somewhere in between.
