Rockabilly Workshop - Sunday 28th May
Not long now till our first Monthly Rockabilly Dance Workshop on Sunday 28th May. We are currently putting the finishing touches to the workshop which will be a 2 hour session which will be designed to improve your as well as learning dance moves. The workshop will be structured to accommodate couples who want to improve their dancing together, but also for all of our single students who may wish to take advantage of this workshop. Couples who attend are therefore welcome to stay together, without rotating as we would have done in the weekly classes. We do need however, to ensure that our numbers aren't too lop sided (male to female) so we would like those interested to register their intention to attend. We have had a number of enquiries already.
This workshop is for dancers who have at least completed our Beginners Course or dancers who would like to improve their style or learn more moves, so spread the word around to your friends who may not be on our Newsletter list. For brand new Beginners who would like to learn this cool dance style, we are available for private lessons. Our contact number is below.
We are hoping the workshop will be a great success and that these will continue on a monthly basis.

The Empire Hotel on the corner of Johnston Street and Parramatta Road, Annandale still holds Swing Dance lessons every Tuesday at 7:30pm with instructors provided by Swingtime Australia and it's free so here's a chance to try out Swing dancing or just have another fun night out. There are a few tunes played after the lesson to practice your steps.

Ray Beadle and The Vipers - A regular gig every Thursday night at The Empire Hotel, Ray Beadle and The Vipers have been entertaining Blues fans there every week for many years. There is room to dance for the occasional dance numbers but this is carpeted floor, so watch your choice of shoes. This is probably more of a listening gig for dedicated blues fans so if you do go, please don't be surprised if the band isn't catering strictly for dancers.
