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!

2017 December 18th – Xmas Dinner & Dance

And so we celebrate Xmas and wrap up another year of dancing at the Adelaide Outlaws Club. A wonderful crowd took part in the meal (cooked and served by Cheryl’s Kitchen) and the dancing. We had the three groups involved – our newest learners, intermediates and our Mainstream dancers. What a lovely atmosphere and we wish you all the best for the holiday season and look forward to seeing you again in 2018.
Here’s a video of one of the singing calls – The Drifters version of “White Christmas” – thanks to Maryka J for the video and you can find more from that night on her Youtube channel Maryka SJ.

These shots and video were taken on the last night of our begineers’ intake in November 2017. We teach for about an hour then dance them with our club dancers. The video captures the atmosphere well.
We love our square dancing but there’s nothing like the sheer joy on the faces of new dancers who “made it” through their first bracket with the “professionals”.

2017 October – November – New Mainstream graduates


Congratulations to the group who have completed the mainstream program in October 2017. Due to various absences due to holidays away and health, they have been presented their certificates over a period of several weeks as each returned to the club.
May you all enjoy the fruits of your labour and welcome to the wonderful world of Mainstream Dancing.

Our annual Hallowe’en theme was held this year on Oct 30th. Great support by our dancers – Mainstream, intermediate and even some brand new learners who just came in and would have got a bit of a surprise!
Thanks to all who helped decorate and brought some interesting supper!
Great outfits too everyone!

Thanks to Diana Waters for the photos and video.

Our annual Pancake Night was well supported again and we managed to successfully integrate teaching of learners and intermediate dancers, Mainstream dancing and the flip’n’catch that is the joy of pancakes. The Pancake King crew – Scott and Kaye – doing a marvellous job and Scott has perfected the art of flipping these babies. Pity we all haven’t necessarily mastered the art of catching them!!

In an effort to allow more frequent intakes for new dancers, we’re running three streams Monday nights now. Intermediate (6 – 7 then 8 – 8:30pm), New learners (7 – 8:30pm) and Mainstream (8 – 10:15pm). Some overlaps to allow good mixing.
Here’s a photo of one of the mixes. What a sharp looking group!
