We have a new Blog post "1920s Theme Nights, October 2026"

This months 1920s theme nights were held on Tuesday 13th and Friday 16th of October 2026.

Dancers enthusiastically adopted the extravagant and glitzy Roaring Twenties fashion.

Ladies wore the drop waist style of the era with embroidered lace, fur and feathers.

Flapper dresses with fringes, sequins or beadwork were accessorised with hats or headbands and long strings of pearls or glamorous Art Deco necklaces.

The men, also dressed in style with fedoras, waistcoats, ties and suspenders.

A number of our Tuesday night ladies also embraced these outfits.

We all had a great experience with Matt experimenting with some new Swing Jazz dance music.

Check out our 2026 Photo Gallery for more of both nights.

Video has started to be uploaded from last months Guest Caller Weekend, starting with the Plus level session. Video from our 1920s nights will be edited after the complete weekend with James Reid is done.

Links to our YouTube videos can be found on our website at https://canecountrysquares.blogspot.com/p/videos-2026.html or go direct to Cane Country Squares YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/.

Our next theme nights are in November with a Black Friday on the 13th and Disney theme nights on both Tuesday 17th and Friday 20th.

We have a new Blog post "James Reid, Guest Caller September 2026"
Such a great weekend was had by all attending on the 12 and 13th of September with James Reid as Cane Country Squares Guest Caller. Our regular Friday Night was called by Matt with lots of out of town visitors including callers from the Brisbane area dancing with us ahead of the weekend.

Saturday morning started with a Plus session. James was given an L Plate to wear since he hadn't called for some time. Ginna started dancing the mans side without a sash. When James became confused who was dancing the left side, Sandy rushed in to correct the situation.

When ever we have a guest caller Matt gets a chance to dance with us, which is always fun. We also had a lovely afternoon tea and supper on Saturday, consisting of sweet and savoury treats bought in by club members to share.

Saturday night was the Mainstream Session with some experiencing a different caller for the first time.

James Reid has such a wonderful signing voice but also sounds similar to our own caller Matthew Mills.

This was the easiest introduction for new dancers to here a different caller with their own dance patterns, while listening to a similar clear voice like they are used to. The two are also a treat to hear harmonising together.

James was upgraded to a P Plate for the Mainstream session which was held on the Saturday evening.
We were also introduced to James' love, Paula Mary (PM) who was watching Square Dancing for the first time.

Paula Mary did an excellent job of producing a Facebook real from her photos and short video clips of the weekend.

Of course, at the Sunday morning Mainstream session James was given a badge to say he was Fully Qualified to Call Square Dancing for us.

The Sunday morning continued with great music, fun and dancing.

Jo L had other commitments until Sunday but still managed to prepare a fantastic sausage sizzle lunch to finish the event.

The timing was extremely well organised, with the help of Sandy, to get the sausages served to those who needed to head on their journey home or to other functions by 12:30pm. Thankyou James for a great dance event and to all who helped with the weekend including set up, catering and the clean up.

Filming of the weekend was done with three mobile phone camera around the hall with a blind spot for the kids to play in. The footage will take a little bit of time to compile and release on our YouTube channel. There will also be an update to our 2026 Photo Gallery page soon.
