Dance News.

Yes, we've gone weekly for the Fringe Festival, which is a good thing because that means we can cover what's on in much more detail! First, though, some sad news - The Jam at Mojo, something I've been involved with for many years, has sadly come to an end. Crispin and Grif are looking for a new venue, but it's sad that the only night that brought you garage, 2step, dubstep and breaks had to come to an end. However, we thank Mojo for having us and look forward to bringing you the most original musical night in Adelaide from a new home in the not-too-distant future.
