2017 has been a big year for the Kulgoodah dancers. They also had a strong performance during the bi-annual Laura Dance Festival that was held earlier this year. The dancers are expected to arrive back to Woorabinda on Tuesday morning. There has also been some online campaigning to see if the NRL would like to invite the dancers to perform at the Rugby League World Cup in Sydney.
