Common People People Project
Join eight mighty teams from across South-East Queensland as dance mania takes over, and hundreds of people lose their sense of decorum in the fight for the ultimate reverse garbage trophy and the title of winner of the 2023 Common People Dance Eisteddfod.
Egypt has the pyramids. India, the Taj Mahal. China, the Great Wall. In Queensland, we have the Common People Dance Eisteddfod.
The Common People People Project follows the people behind Australia’s own great wonder of the world.
