Our rock n roll dance club was formed in 2002. We dance two rock n roll styles, 4-step and rockabilly. Everyone is welcome to come along and join in including beginners and those who already dance. It's all about fun and friendship.
Dance lessons are held on Tuesday nights at the Gladstone Bowls Club in Ferris Street, Gladstone from 7:00 pm. The typical evening consists of 30 minutes beginners, 30 minutes intermediate revision, 15 minutes partner dance revision, a 15 minute break, 30 minutes intermediate new move/revision and 30 minutes free dance time. The last Tuesday, February through to November, is a social night so dress up and join us to rock the night away.
All new Beginners are an integral part of our club. Your first lesson is free and then the cost is $5.00 per person per evening. Beginners are encouraged to stay on after their lesson and practise what they have learnt while the intermediate class does revision. For beginners we recommend learning one style initially and mastering that before attempting the second style. It takes a considerable time frame along with a lot of practice to become competent. Pat Rafter didn't become an Ace player overnight."
Newcomers are always welcomed. We understand that you may have learnt a different style to the ones we teach and you are most welcome to adapt them to suit yourself outside of lessons. 4-step and rockabilly are distinct and different rock'n'roll styles and both are fun. Each and every member continues to learn and that's what makes it so much fun.
You may apply to join our club by filling out a membership form and paying an annual membership of $15 per person. Members then pay $3 per lesson and have a club name tag with their membership number. Raffle tickets are also available at the door.
Our club organises several dances a year with live rock n rolll bands. We also meet at the Swinging Blue Jeans (SBJ) lounge in the function room at the Diggers Arms Hotel, Bell Street in Calliope. Check out the Dances & Events page for dates.
So come along and join us for fantastic nights of 1950's,1960's rock n rolll music and dancing. Plus some great rockabilly.
Venue: Gladstone Bowls Club, Ferris Street. For more information call Sue on 4978 1919 or 0427 781 919
