“I knew it would be good but I can’t believe how good it was. What a wonderful afternoon for our community. It was unpatronising and I think all of us oldies felt celebrated, cherished and spoilt. The balance of old and young people there was great and the entertainment beyond belief” – LGBTIQ+ Elder
About
Each year since 2018, our fabulous Adelaide Cabaret Festival annual event has been presented for rainbow and allied communities. Learn new dances and make dazzling new connections across the dance floor complimented by a light afternoon tea.
This festival favourite unites all through the joy of dance. Inclusive and intergenerational, and all a good bit of fun. This is your chance to learn a few new steps and make some surprising connections out on the floor, then get to know your dance partners with a chat over a light afternoon tea.
A safe, joyous space; inclusive and intergenerational; with special guests to be announced each year. No dance experience required, only enthusiasm!
Previous guests include Kween Kong, Dandrogyn, Trevor Jones, Julia Zemiro, Alix Kuiipers and Michael Griffiths.
