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.

The happy crowd!
We celebrated our Annual American Night on July 1st with a red-white-blue themed dance and the crowd really enjoyed themselves.
We danced a musical journey through the States of the USA and enjoyed a bountiful supper of mini hot dogs, donuts and apple pies.
Thanks everyone for joining us on that night – even if it was in actual fact Canada Day!! A fact Roger and Anne were quick to point out!

So this year it falls appropriately on July 4th and we celebrated with a red white and blue theme, hall decorations and hot dogs and donuts supplied for supper. We also danced our way around the states of America with songs from those areas or with state names iin them. Great crowd, great fun!

On the weekend of July 30 – Aug 1st, we were proud to present US caller Jerry Jestin for our celebration of 25 years of the Adelaide Outlaws clubs.
The hall looked fantastic with silver adornments and dancing coloured lights on stage. The committee and helpers did a great job with catering and above all, the atmosphere was electric. Many SA and visiting dancers enjoyed three sessions of Mainstream, Plus and Round dancing. Jerry and Janice Jestin made themselves at home and Jerry provided a great program with his variety of choreography and music. Jerry has a great personality which comes through in his calling and we enjoyed his cueing as well. Again a nice variety of routines and music.
We hope all who came enjoyed the festival and thanks for helping us celebrate our Silver Jubilee. We sent Jerry and Janice off to Buderim in Queensland for their 25 year celebration of the Sunshine Coast Square Dance centre. The Jestins then jet on to Melbourne then Perth for weekends in those cities.
Thanks Jerry and Janice, thanks dancers and we’re looking forward to our Birthday celebration on September 25th.
We hold an annual “American Night” around the 4th July and theme the night with red, whites and blues. Supper includes mini hot dogs, apple pies and donuts and musically we take a journey through the states of America with the singing calls.
Here’s some photos of our dance this year. (Thanks to Hilda for the photos).
A great night with many dressed in red, white and blue which really added to the atmosphere. The hall looked good with US flags and rosettes and the supper – what a feast. Mini hot dogs, donuts and apple pies supplemented with some creative fare brought by oour dancers.
We hope you enjoyed our musical tour through the states of America. It’s interesting to see how many songs relate to one state or another! New York, Mississippi, Hollywood, Rocky Mountains and more.
Thanks to our decorating crew and to everyone who came and made it a night with atmosphere.
