Whoo hoo Hullaballoo, what a great time we had over in Perth, we danced our socks off that’s for sure. The Perthies made us all feel very welcome from the word go. It was great to catch up with old friends from around Australia and OS as well as making plenty of new ones. We were over the moon to catch up with our friend Dan who used to attend the Camperdown swing and Kellyville Rock ‘n’ Roll classes, (he was transferred with the Air force to Perth) we are pleased to report that he has kept up his dancing and he really misses all his Sydney dancing friends. Lots of great live bands, hours and hours of DJ’ed music and awesome people to dance with, they even had there own special beer now that’s cool. All we can say now is bring on SLX! Swing at the Roxbury Saturday 28th April Even if you aren’t brave enough to get up on the dance floor, it is still lots of fun watching and socializing. The Roxbury has a fabulous atmosphere and we always have a great mix of dancers from the most experienced in Sydney to raw beginners. Don’t forget that you can also get great food at the Bistro. 182 St Johns Rd Glebe - Starts 8pm $6 door charge. Andrew Sutton Workshop Sunday 6th May Andrew has taught and performed in venues throughout the U.S. and Europe. Competition highlights include: 2001 ALHC 1st place Cabaret Champion, 2002 2nd place World Lindy Hop Champion and 2003 ALHC 1st place Jill & Jack Champion. For several years, Andrew danced with the Flyin' Lindy Hoppers Dance Team. He brings a fresh approach to creative social dance. Andrew believes that in order to truly keep dance improving, we have to continue learning and improving at all levels. To make sure that this happens, he focuses his class material on things that advanced dancers are interested in focusing on, but yet it will be taught it in a way that even the beginner can understand and perform correctly. His goal is to make the dance seem as simple as possible for the beginner and yet interesting enough for the advanced dancers to want to continue to learn more. To Register simply email peta@swingtimeaustralia.com or see one of your teachers in class. Workshop Schedule Sunday 6th May - Improvising with a partner Through the use of jazz steps, this class will teach you how to improvise on the social dance floor as well as how to learn new moves much faster than the average dancer.
