FAQ's
How can I easily tell my friends about this event?
You can share this blog page via email, google+ or facebook (click on the share button at the top righthand). You can share the event created in facebook (head to our site at Deutscher Volktanzkreis.

Is this a formal event?
There will be some formal speeches, including a speech by the Hon. Jennifer Rankie MP (Minister for Multicultural Affairs). In between the floor shows there's plenty of time for mingling or checking out the photo board and kids entertainment area, plus there's some social dancing where we try to get everyone capcable onto the floor. Do some of you remember the dance Sonderburger Doppelquadrille?

Do you cater for those with a wheelchair, pram, walking frame or stick? 
Yes of course! There is lift access to the second floor and it's only a few steps to the Main Hall. There will be limited seating, so we've asked people capable of standing to offer seating for those most in need of them.   

Why no door prize or tickets now?
We have recieved a small grant from Multicultural SA for this event. As part of the grant requirements, this must be a free public event, therefore no entry tickets. That means no door prize as well.
