Maleny Community Centre will once again come alive to the incredible dance beats of Gold Coasts Tijuana Cartel & Brisbane’s Dubmarine on Friday 29 May for another The Art of Mother Earth Dance event.

They will be joined by the Flamenco beat traffickers Tijuana Cartel and their infectious dance tunes for what will cap off an amazing array of quality music to celebrate the impending Winter.
