YeeHaw! Get on your boots and make your way down to celebrate Albany Pride Festival’s biggest night in true country style.

Boot scooter? I don’t even know her?!? Don’t worry if you have forgotten every move to Cotton Eyed Joe, the fabulous team from OUTdance Perth will be on hand to show us how it’s done with a range of easy to learn line and partner dances. Festival Queen BarbieQ and her gal Alexas Armstrong, along with their talented dancers, will be there to entertain, while DJ Her Highness will keep the hot tunes coming all night long.

It’s giving Barnyard Eleganza, make sure you dress the part as there may just be a sneaky prize for whoever serves the best Country.

When you need to take a break from all the fun there will be a bar supplied by Dan Murphys and food trucks available to refuel.

She’s a multi-award winner, a dancer since the age of thirteen (with a five year career as a dancer for Princess Cruises in the USA) and is the Entertainment Manager for Connections Nightclub in Perth.
