2026-03 Learners’ Graduation

Our learners have just completed the Mainstream program and are now integrated into the Monday night club. A celebration with presentation of certificates and a welcome pack from the SA Square Dance Society. Not to mention a magnificent basket supper too! At the end of this reel – a small tribute song to Neil Sedaka.

2026-02 St Valentine’s Dance

It was mid February & a chance to celebrate St Valentine’s Day. Mother Nature threw us a challenge with yet another very hot night – we were not deterred. A group of us came early for a dinner before the dance. Thanks goodness for aircon eh? We danced to love songs all night, people looked great in their reds/hearts etc and Dawn provided some great cheedecakes for supper. Thanks to all who supported this night. Thanks also to Elijah & the two Ians for calling some numbers too.

2026-02 Neil Diamond Tribute

This came about on the spur of the moment. One Sunday in January, caller Graham Elliott & wife Dawn decided to go to the movie theatre on a particularly fierce hot day (42degC) and escape the heat. They saw “Song Sung Blue”. It inspired a night of Neil Diamond songs at the Square Dance Club.

2026-01 Aussie Night

Our annual Aussie Night – a celebration of Australia Day. In true Australian summer style, the temperature on this day was around 42 C (that’s 108 F)! By the time we arrived at the hall at 5pm to set up, it had dropped to 41! The airconditioning was working hard and despite the heat, we had 40 people booked in for the BBQ at the start. This was superbly cooked and catered by our venue hosts, the West Croydon Kilkenny RSL. Thanks to all who joined us and thanks to Dawn for providing the additional catering of pavlovas, cakes etc.

2025-12 The Christmas Dance

And so we come to the end of another year and celebrate with our annual Christmas Dance. Great atmosphere, great Xmas dinner & supper and wonderful people. Thanks to Les T, Elijah, Josiah & Ian for joining us on the program. Thanks to Dawn for all the preps – raffle prizes, supper & handling bookings. Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year to you all.

2025-12 Youth Group visit

For just over a year, two of our younger members have been learning to call AND teaching square dancing to their youth group down at Strathalbyn (about 70km south of Adelaide). Our caller Graham and Dawn have made periodic visits to lend a hand too. The group have completed the Mainstream program and we were thrilled to have some of them visit our club for a night. This would have been their first exposure to a square dance club outside of their group and it went really well! The atmosphere was great and you can see they were having a lot of fun. Kudos to Elijah and Josiah for taking this on and working right through the Mainstream program.

2025-09 40th BIRTHDAY

Adelaide Outlaws Square Dance Club, South Australia celebrated it’s 40th Birthday in September 2025. It was a memorable evening with everyone dressed in reds to match the Ruby Anniversary theme.

Great to welcome interstate and overseas visitors & guest callers too. Congratulations to our members who received 10 and 20 year service recognitions.

Here’s to the fun of square dancing in Adelaide continuing for many more years to come.
