DANCE SCHOOLS BREAKING NEWS COLUMN

See "Dance Schools" page for lesson details. This column only has "Breaking News"
 

Email from Cool Cats: You may have heard the rumors that Cool Cats will soon be holding lessons at The Mustang Bar on Monday nights. This has resulted in a change of venues and lesson times for many of our courses, plus we are offering a variety of special offers at The Mustang Bar to encourage more dancers to come along. As of April 18th for our new lesson timetable see Dance Schools page. 

We will be employing an optional rotation format in the Rockabilly (Mustang Bar) and 4Beat (North Perth ) courses to provide a flexible and enjoyable learning environment for both partnered and unpartnered dancers alike. 

Special offers for the commencement of Cool Cats lessons at the Mustang Bar are: All Rockabilly students wishing to take advantage of our double lesson offer will be welcome to attend the Thursday night General Class at North Perth at the usual discount rate. As a bonus during the first course at our new venue, students may also stay for the 4Beat class FREE as part of the rotational group. That's a total of 3hrs for $18 for Rockabilly enthusiasts! As an ongoing offer, partnered dancers will be able to participate in the Rockabilly and both North Perth classes for the price of $24 casual or $120 for 6 weeks. That's Rockabilly, 4Beat, and the General Class for some variety, practice, and fun at $8 or less per lesson.  Cool Cats Offer: For past (6+ months) and existing students (3+ months) who have yet to try Rockabilly, their first course at the Mustang Bar is Half Price! That's only $6 per lesson! (no bulk or course discounts) I will also use this opportunity to advise of our next short course, which also commences April 18th: Basic Aerials. This introductory course examines the fundamentals of liftwork, providing students with the necessary knowledge and skills to tackle more advanced aerials safely and with confidence. It also gives the more casual dancer a nice variety of simple lifts/drops/props that they can use to add some flair and fun to their dance. Nathan Major, Principal, 0415 481 938 www.coolcatsrocknroll.com

Email from Freestylers: A big welcome to all the new members and a big "Thank You" to all those more experienced dancers for joining in the beginners class and making it easier for them to learn, it was great to see so many of you encouraging and helping those with difficulties.  We've had a great response to all our classes and great to see a few more joining us for West Coast Swing.  It's a beautiful dance that for some reason seems to intimidate some people and yet if you take time and ground yourself in basics can be so much fun and is often referred to as "The Dancers Dance"  so to all those looking for new challenges why not give it a go.  West Coast Swing classes are every Tuesday at Osborne Park Bowling Club and Wednesdays at Cannington Bowling Club.  Beginners class is from 7.30pm- 8.30pm.

Les Roc's Rock'n'Roll Cruise - a review

By Ashley Thompson    Up-loaded 3 March 2010

Hey Rock & Rollers, here is a little spin on the recent Les Roc Cruise Fremantle , Albany, Bunbury, Fremantle aboard the "Athena" 14th to 18th February.

Couldn't ask for more - the food and service was good, cabins were clean and comfortable, entertainment was excellent and a great time, with a good mix of fun and relaxation, was had by all aboard. As well as dancing you could try your luck at bingo, join a group doing a quiz, arts and crafts, relax on deck reading a book or simply enjoy a few drinks in the company of old friends and new acquaintances.

The weather was fair to good, but some of our sailors unfortunately were heave hove and up she rises. What a waste of good tucker.

Les' workshops were very good. There was an excellent mix of Line Dancing and Rock & Roll which was made interesting and simple for newcomers to learn. At the end of each session everyone had learnt two complete dances and then later that night had the opportunity to put it into practice. It was a nice touch "well done Les".

The evenings were ours to party. Rock & Rollers took over a couple of venues on the ship and yes we did share with the other passengers and crew. Some I noticed were up later than their mothers would have allowed, but it's okay, mum wasn't on board so it was all good.

On the Monday night we were joined on board by the Albany dance group which was really great and it was good to see that there were some who dressed up for the occasion. It was amusing to watch the Albany ladies pounce on nibblies and cakes which were being handed out by the crew. Us passengers were reserved and cool only because we'd already had a day of being spoilt.

During the day I noticed there were those who had nanna naps. Could it be or dare I say it was due to late nights, or should it be said, early mornings.

On the two stopovers, Albany and Bunbury, some chose to visit wineries, go on a bus tour or just go walking and shopping.

Whether you went as a single or couple, you couldn't help but enjoy yourself. It was also a help knowing people on board. Thanks Les.

Looking forward to the next trip, all being well.

Regards

Ashley Thompson.

 

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.

Marco and The Rhythm Kings

Mon 8 March

Mondays are always a great night at the Mustang Bar. Marco and The Rhythm Kings are well worth a listen. Many of our favourite local musos fused in a new mix. Great Rockabilly, Blues and a bit of Western Swing. Great night! Lots of room on the dance floor.
