Another celebration of Fathers’ Day comes around. Still running our learner and intermediate groups, all joined in for a fun evening. Everyone looked great in blue and so did Diana’s posters – so fitting to the theme. Thanks to all who came along.

2018 July 19th – Teaching the “Dutch Crossing”

Leave a reply

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.

2018 July 2nd – American Night

Leave a reply

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.

2018 June 11th – Charity Dance

Leave a reply



As a precursor to our next intake of learners AND to raise funds for the Cancer Council of SA, we hosted a Charity Dance.
A wonderful crowd from the public and square dancers alike enjoyed a couple of hours of being shown what fun this great activity is and how different it is to their memories of many years ago.
Big thanks to the club members who provided a huge spread of supper – a real treat after all that exercise!
Now onto 6 weeks of open nights to launch our new learners’ intake.

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.

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).
