Hullabaloo (Perth Lindy Exchange) Report
Well we have all made it back to Sydney safe and sound after having an amazing time in Perth.  Bruce and I were lucky enough to be invited to teach workshops and the Swingtime Performance Team performed at the Casablanca Ball on the Sunday evening.  Sydney was well represented this year with about 20 Sydneysiders making their way over to WA.

Check out the Clip of the performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCEWOZXtMoo
Dancers:
Sam and Tina
Nathan and Sharon
Simon and Julia
Adam and Trish

Also very proud to say that 3 Swingtimers made the final of the Jack and jill contest,  Sam, Kat and Julia.  The field was huge, not sure how many but it felt like there were more competitors than spectators and it was narrowed down to 6 Follows and 6 Leads for the final.

(hope I haven’t forgotten anyone).

It was great to see such a big crowd at the Glebe town hall on Tuesday night,  and for those working on the routine for the Christmas party – it’s looking great guy’s.  Also the Rock and Roll routine (Wentworthville) is looking super cool.
