The atmosphere was electric – the crowd was buzzing – a night to remember!

The hall was filled to capacity with dancers from all over Australia and we had a ball. Graham Elliott and James Reid called the entire program as their two clubs, the Adelaide Outlaws and JR Squares, combined to put on a pre Convention show. Not only was there a feast of dancing and entertainment but we also had clothing and shoe stalls at the back of the hall – albeit a bit squeezy down there.

A special highlight of the night for us was the presence of a film crew from the ABC television show “Stateline”. They filmed the dancers and callers and conducted interviews. The final segment was shown on their show the following Friday. See the Blog item for details.

A big thanks to the two club committees who arrived early to decorate the hall and clean up afterwards. A special thankyou to all the dancers who, despite facing five more days of Convention dancing, came along in droves to join our party. A party that consisted of great dancing and even guest appearances from the Motown boys, the Grease boys and those two Village People who closed with the finale. Big thankls to Les Tulloch who kept people dancing during a  costume change.
