Dance battle of the 'burbs!
The Common People Dance Eisteddfod has become a revered tradition here in our fair city. Teams from across South East Queensland battle it out over one epic night and need you to cheer and shout as they dance the night away.
Dressed in sequined armour, the mighty suburban gladiators will meet on neutral territory and dance it out to see who will be the 2025 Common People Dance Eisteddfod winner. The competition is fierce, the outfits are bold, and the moves are body rollin'. But there can only be one winner! Who will be crowned the champion and take home all the glory?
It's the ultimate dance battle of the 'burbs — so slap on some sequins, bring some attitude, and come join the fun barracking for your team.
