Ekka Hoedown - 12/8/26

Very excited to announce that Footloose Fun has been asked to be a participating club in this year's Ekka Hoedown! 🎉🤠

When: Wednesday 12th August, 2-6pm

Where: Stockmen’s Bar and Grill, Ekka

This event started in 2018, and seems to have got bigger and better every year. The afternoon will feature beginner workshops from a number of SEQ-based line dance instructors, some social dancing, and the Ekka Cup Challenge.

The Ekka Cup Challenge is a friendly competition between SEQ line dance clubs.

Each group prepares a short performance (five minutes maximum) to entertain the crowd. The group which receives the loudest applause is the winner. There’s a perpetual trophy up for grabs... as well as bragging rights!

Interested in being involved? I’m on the hunt for some Footloose Fun fanatics who are keen to strut their stuff in the Ekka Cup Challenge - maximum group size of 30 people.

The dance we do will be upper beginner/improver level - I will make a final decision once I have a better idea of who is keen to be involved. We will practise the routine in classes leading up to the day.

Free entry into the Ekka for all those competing in the comp. All others will need to purchase a ticket into the Ekka. The afternoon itself is free of charge once you are inside the Ekka gates.

To be involved, you need:

• To be a regular attendee at Footloose Fun classes/events

• To own a Footloose Fun shirt

• To be available on Wed 12th August, 2-6pm. This is the Ekka Show Holiday for the Brisbane City Council area (not for the Moreton Bay or Redland area).

If this sounds like you, please message Footloose Fun on Facebook, Instagram, or text me on 0400 291 447, before Thursday 9th July.

Once our team is finalised, I will send out more details to those involved.
