I got webbie of the year!!!! Australian Line Dance Awards


The organisers would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to vote in these awards since they commenced in 2001 and to congratulate all the finalists and winners over the past 23 years.

With the retirement of Chris Watson in 2023 it was hoped that others would step forward to help run the awards. Unfortunately this did not eventuate and 2023 was the final year for the awards.






(These people are recognised for their commitment to the line dance industry within Australia,
they are part of an elite special group inducted into the Dance Floor of Fame)

There are over 1/2 million people of Chinese origin just in Sydney and a large proportion of those are aged over 60. Michelle provides them an opportuinity for social interaction and physical well being. Michelle contributes to the broader community by participating in council activities and fund raising for people in institutional care and in various senior's groups.
