Introducing
THE NEXT GENERATION OF BUSH DANCING EXPERIENCES
LIVE BUSH AND LINE DANCING EVENTS ACROSS SYDNEY, CENTRAL COAST, HUNTER REGION—AND BEYOND.
Meet Dan.
He doesn’t just play the music...
He calls the dances, teaches the steps, and gets out on the floor with you.
For Dan Higgins, country isn’t a theme; it’s a way of life. Growing up on a rural farm, Dan spent his childhood riding horses, driving tractors, cracking whips and mustering cattle long before he ever stepped on a stage. He brings that authentic country heritage to every event, through live music, bush dancing, line dancing and other activities like whip cracking that gets people of every age involved.

Hear it before you book it
This is the sound your dance floor will move to
Every event draws on two distinct traditions—traditional bush dance and modern country line dancing—each with its own rhythm, its own energy, and its own moment in the night. Press play below and hear exactly what your guests could be moving to.
Bush Dancing
Rooted in Australian tradition, this style is energetic, communal, and built for big groups. Think circles, spins and everyone on the floor at once, guided step-by-step by Dan's calling over fiddle, accordion and guitar.
Line Dancing
Modern country classics, danced in rows to steps that everyone can pick up quickly. These dances are easy to learn and impossible to sit out — the style that gets first-timers and regulars moving in the same formation.

Testimonials
Large Group? NO PROBLEM.
"We booked Dan and his band for our university's opening social night and the 300 students loved it. Clear calling and smooth transitions made it easy for dancers of every level to join in — they handled our large group effortlessly. We'll be using them every year from now."
—Jason, University Social Night Organiser
EASY TO WORK WITH
"We had Dan at our Country Youth Muster and had an absolute blast with his bush dancing — a great mix of classic Aussie dances and old-school favourites. He was wonderful with the whole family, and easy to work with from a church organisation's point of view."
—CHRISTOS, CHURCH YOUTH MUSTER ORGANISER
ANYONE CAN DO IT!
"I had the privilege of attending one of Dan's bush dancing nights and had the time of my life! As someone who'd describe themselves as having "two left feet", Dan was amazing at explaining the steps, helping us get over our fears, and ensuring that everyone had a genuinely good time. If I can do it, anyone can! 10/10 would recommend the Aussie Bush Dance Company!"
—MEL, SOCIAL NIGHT ATTENDEE
