A glorious vomit-splash of sequins, spandex and glitter \u2014 the Common People Dance Classes are back at Horizon Festival for the second year running!<\/strong><\/p>\n 26 years ago Neridah Waters auditioned for her school Rock Eisteddfod and got rejected. To this day she carries the bitterness in her polyester puffed sleeves. She\u2019s channelled her angst into Common People Dance Project, creating her own Rock Eisteddfod competition \u2014 but with adults! (and kids; and babies in carriers; actually, anyone).<\/p>\n After attaining cult-status in Brisbane \u2014 and after a HUGELY successful first year with the Horizon Festival Team \u2014 Neridah\u2019s bringing her famous dance competition back to the Sunshine Coast. <\/p>\n Just like last year, we\u2019re forming two Sunshine Coast teams to battle it out at a Regional Competition during Horizon Festival 2022. From there, the Sunshine Coast rep team (the winner of the Horizon Festival dance battle<\/span>) will then head to Brisbane Festival for the \u2018Nationals\u2019 \u2014 dancing off against the Gold Coast and Brisbane metro teams, to run an epic dance battle for the common people of South East Queensland.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s going to be awesome. Grab your crew, bring your mum, or come along solo. <\/p>\nWhy join the team?<\/h3>\n
\nWe\u2019ll meet once a week for two terms.
\nThere\u2019ll be half time oranges.
\nThere\u2019ll be dress ups. <\/p>\n
