A video of one of our new learners’ class sessions with experienced club dancers helping out.
This is the final night of new intakes and from here we progressed through the Mainstream movements list.
As a touch of variety to our technical (and good fun!) Plus dancing, we taught our Plus dancers the traditional routine of “Dutch Crossing”. A really pretty routine involving stars, crossed ocean waves and grand right and left. Well done to our patient and enthusiastic group. This is only 1/4 of the routine – but it gives an idea.
Our American theme night was held this year on 2 July and a wonderful collection of red, white & blue outfits were worn by our dancers. We dance to songs that traverse us across the USA (eg: New York, New York, Key Largo, Georgia, Route 66, Hollywood) and the one shown in the video – American Pie.
A great supper with mini hot dogs, donuts just tops off the night.
A double celebration. Our Intermediates graduated into Mainstream. Congratulations to Heather & Bruno and to Shirley who used to dance but wanted to “brush up”.
The night was fuelled by pancakes cooked in the hall by Scott and Kay from the “Pancake King”. Always entertaining and popular.
Our annual celebration of Mothers’ Day. Many dressed in pink and we did enjoy a hearty chocolate supper. Thanks to all who joined us.
A group of us travelled over to Perth for the 59th Australian National Square Dance Convention. A Nautical/Cruise theme brought out the best costumes and great decorations. We thoroughly enjoyed the convention and thanks to our dancers who represented us in a dressed set on the Saturday night.
Colours abound and the aroma of hot cross buns drives us to distraction!
It’s our annual Easter dance and a lovely atmosphere with all our dancers – learners, intermediates and mainstream – all joining in a celebration of the Easter weekend.
The hall looked great with some “Eggs-cellent” posters (by Graham).
With March brings our annual St Patrick’s theme night. Dancers dressed in green, hall decorated and a great dinner prepared, cooked & served by the spud van people. Irish songs capped it off and a lot of fun was had to be sure!
Here’s a couple of videos – thanks to Diana W.

Adelaide Outlaws Members visit to ARTLAB Feb 2018
A group of our members were booked into a visit with “ARTLAB” in Adelaide. Artlab are the group associated with the Art Gallery of SA who carry our renovations, repairs & restoration to artworks of all kinds. From paintings, sculptures, castings, embroidery & even old books. It was truly fascinating to see the special skills used and we were all mesmerised as each specialist took time out to explain what they do.
