Schools
Our school programs are at the core of the Billy Tea Bush Band mission – connecting children, teachers and parents with our Australian culture, history and music… and with each other… through dance and fun! Our school program is entertaining and inclusive, leaving schools with a greater sense of community and connection. The fantastic feedback we receive is proof of how our program “hits the spot” with students, teachers and parents alike.
Not only that… we’ll go anywhere! The Billy Tea Bush Band have performed for hundreds of schools all around Australia – from the major cities to rural schools in all states, Indigenous communities in far northern Queensland, and even to Bruny Island off Tasmania’s most southern tip. Checkout our Tour Calendar for a list of where we’re going and where we’ve been so far.
Programs
We offer three main school programs, but can tailor a performance to suit any event you might hold… such as a fundraiser or building opening. Contact us for availability and to discuss your individual needs.
Program 1 – Workshop and Family Bush Dance
Our full program includes the Welcome Concert, plus two or more mixed-grade workshops for students, followed by the chance to put those new skills into action with a 60 to 90-minute evening Family Bush Dance for the wider school community. You can see recent feedback on this popular program below.
Program 2 – The Welcome Concert
This 50-minute interactive concert includes our favourite Aussie bush songs, and two classic Billy Tea bush dances. The concert is a chance to introduce everyone to the fun of bush dancing at a special event or assembly.
Program 3 – School Camp Bush Dance
To create a lasting memory, a 90 minute bush dance as a part of your next school camp is a great fun way to complement the camaraderie that school camps create so well.
Contact us for availability on your preferred dates and to discuss your individual needs. We’re happy to tailor our program to suit your school or event.

The children had a wonderful time and Mick and Phil’s enthusiasm and entertainment were fantastic. I had both children and teachers telling me how much fun they had.
