John Reynolds from Auckland calls for us at the Mainstream club
We had the pleasure of welcoming a caller from New Zealand who was here on a work trip in October.
John Reynolds calls in Auckland and we enjoyed his calling at our Monday Mainstream club.
Married on Wed 26 September and enjoying the dance of marriage!
We celebrated at the club with a wedding arch the Monday after.
Congratulations!!
We turned 33! A real fun night as we celebrated our 33rd Birthday with a Rock’n’Roll theme. Thanks so much to the helpers who decorated and ran the catering and to the visiting callers – Les, Ian and John. Rock and Roll music, decorations and outfits kept the place buzzing.

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.
