Yellow Goose Dance

a new experience in music and dance

The Yellow Goose Experience

"I found out about your wonderful gig quite by accident and had a brilliant time - like an intimate evening wedding reception with dance lessons"



Yellow Goose Dance brings you a whole new experience in live music and dance. A ten piece live band made up of some of the regions finest musicians play catchy, original songs, with sweet harmonies, rock solid beats and sizzling horn section. Add to this an experienced dance teacher to walk you through basic moves to a wide range of Latin and Ballroom dances. A great night out.

Learn to Samba, Salsa, Cha Cha, Rumba, Jive, Charleston, Foxtrot, Waltz and many more. Dress fancy and wear slippery shoes. Be prepared to find your hips.


“Dance like a lunatic, like you don’t care, dance like there’s nobody there”


"THE BEST NIGHT OUT I HAVE EVER HAD'

Yellow Goose Dance serves up a unique blend of original live music and real-time dance tuition in a range of Latin & Ballroom styles, a kind of hip Strictly. A 10 piece band made up of sizzling horns, sumptuous harmonies and sinuous dance moves combining seamlessly into a brilliant night-out. Formed in late 2015 from a range of highly experienced and hugely talented musicians from the region they have sold out a series of self-promoted events, played at weddings, parties, festivals and events across the region. Dress fancy and wear slippery shoes. It’s a sweaty and joyous experience.

Yellow Goose is the bastard brainchild of Phil Russell, longtime composer, musician and songwriter of a string of eccentric, wildly catchy and infectiously rhythmic tunes. He went to learn how to dance and figured he could do better. In cahoots with dance teacher Tristan Edgar, and a marvellous bunch of musicians, he did.

Community

From time to time we run projects to include more people in the joy of singing and dancing. We are currently working on a project called Human Earth that combines short provocations about the state of the world, an animated story about the Supreme Cow and a series of quirky songs performed by our glorious, full throated band of songsters. We would be delighted to sing in your front room, at your gig, in your mums care home, your community event or your party. Just give us a call. Also, let us know if you want to get involved.
