Take a look at our "Dance Partners Wanted" page. New entry today - man looking for a female partner. Many other enthusiastic men and women also still seeking partners.

The Rock'n'Jive Social Club is holding a 'Car Cruise' on Sunday October 17 at 1.30pm, starting point Kingsway Shopping Centre car park, with a dance at a mystery destination in the metro area.  There will be a sausage sizzle for a gold coin donation at the destination, but own food can be taken as well. There will be first, second and third place prizes - not for the fastest to get from A to B, but for the most correct answers to the fun and interesting questions to keep the passengers busy along the way.  Families and friends are welcome.  Tickets are available for $10/car from the Rock'n'Jive Social Club dances at OPBC on Sept 11 and October  9, or through club committee members Julie - 9447 2121, Sue - 9448 3451 and Lena -9447 7025. 

 

Dancers wanted - Demo in November

My name is Mark Tucek and I am planning to have a launch to promote Symphony of Sunflowers to help raise money for a charity called Therapy Focus and Help A Child Grow.
It will be held at Cars We Wash which is an old fashioned, retro "drive-in" car wash complete with bubble machine, movie projector and disco ball.
So for the launch, I would have a "50's Rock & Roll theme" based on Grease/American Graffiti movies.
I am already getting some confirmation from a Hot Rod car club to have some Hot Rod cars present. I plan to have 50's music, Coke & Popcorn etc.
 
I would like to have some young energetic dancers in 50's costume to donate their time and energy for some exhibition dancing or routines? Please let me know if you can point me in the right direction to anybody/group that may be interested in volunteering?
 
At this stage, I am thinking for Friday 26th November 5.00pm- 6.00pm.

Cool Cats Update

Rockabilly @ The Mustang Bar
A quiz night has been booked for the 30th of August, so there will be no band or music. The next Rockabilly course will consequently commence on Monday 6th of September. To keep track with our overall teaching program, this will be a shorter 5wk course - so make sure not to miss the first lesson on **Monday 6th of September** because we will be covering a lot!

 

FREE Lessons! - That's right! As of  3 September anyone interested in dancing can join the Cool Cats for our new FREE introductory 4Beat lessons @ The Mustang Bar each Friday night 6:30-7pm before the band!!! This will be a rotational class that students can join at any stage of the 3wk program. Absolutely FREE - so tell your friends! www.coolcatsrocknroll.com

We'd love to hear more stories of the era. That way we may slowly piece together a bit more of WA's rock'n'roll history. Send in your story, come and tell me your story and I'll write it up under dual authorship, or recommend musicians and participants who's knowledge can contribute to a richer picture of the Snake Pit days and the bodgies and widgies of the 50s and 60s era in WA.
