Formed by Jason Beaman and Erin Aspinall in 2015, Outside Change was centered around a monthly magazine where they delivered current information and highlights of the dancesport world both here and across the world with an unbiased view for all organisations, societies and events. The magazine unfortunately ceased publication in December 2019 with Erin resigning from the business and since then Brent Olifent has come on board and we endeavour to still bring you the annual Outside Change Cup & Freedom To Dance Ball held each year and, we look forward to making it the most prestigious must do event on the Australasian dance calendar. We also enjoy keeping everyone up to date on both the facebook and Instagram pages of what is happening in the world of Ballroom Dancing. |
