Save the date: the Canowindra 12 Hour Dance is back and expected to make a big return on Sunday 22 June 2025.
The New Vogue and Social Dance Group presents this extraordinary annual event again at Canowindra Services Club starting at 10am and going right through to 10pm.
Running since 2019, this annual event brings in people from all over NSW and even interstate.
The dance is 10am to 10pm but participants can stay all day or arrive and leave when it suits them as the event isn't a dance marathon.
Event organisers Gail Davies and Graham Aylen said it is going to be bigger and better than before, and every year it gets better.

Mr Aylen said they initially got the idea for a 12 hour dance from an event in Canberra, made a few changes and brought it to Canowindra the next year, and it's been going very well ever since.
Live music will run throughout the day with Barry Whitty performing from 10am-4pm and Phil Redenbach will perform from 4pm - 10pm.
The event's MC will be Doug Moorby with spot prizes throughout the day and there will be a raffle prize too.
Andrea and John Barwick, very well known as dancers and choreographers in the dancing fraternity are a big feature of the event. They will present special dance demonstrations through the day.
Ms Davies said they have had Andrea and John at the dance for the last two years and they're very popular, with a good following,
"We're looking forward to having Andrea and John here again," she said.
Mr Aylen said they are beautiful people and do a very fine job.
"We are looking forward to having them back again," he said.
Andrea and John retired from competitive dancing in 1998 after a very successful career. Following that retirement they embraced social dancing where our passion for dancing now lies.
Ms Davies said they will be undertaking two demonstrations and two new dances, throughout the day.
Ms Davies said people don't have to dance the whole 12 hours, and can get on and off the dance floor as they please.
Mr Aylen said the 12 hour dance is also good for people to socialise and chat with the other participants.
Both Ms Davies and Mr Ayken said they are looking forward to hosting the 12 hour dance again and all of the guests who come along to take part.
Tickets $15 for all - dancers and non dancers as light refreshments are provided for all.
Bring snacks to share, but food will also be available from the club.
There is no need to reserve a space as participants can come along and pay on the day.
Ms Davies said the Club are very good to them and support them, and they also receive support from Cabonne Council and the Blue Jacket Motel.
