The Culture of Convict Dance

Dancing in Fetters brings convict dancing to the Tasmanian Midlands.

‘Music and dance never failed to enliven and invigorate even those who had hungry bellies’
Hobart Street Musician, 1834

The Dancing in Fetters exhibition is on until 26 June at the Tasmanian Wool Centre, Ross.

Dancing in Fetters will tear open the history books on how convicts lived.
