As leaves begin falling down from the trees and people begin cutting logs for the fire, our numbers are 'heading' upwards as we light a fire on the dance floor at the West Lakes Tennis Club. A clutch of newcomers have swelled our ranks in recent times. The end of evening bowls a few weeks ago means we have a huge amount of car parking available. The dance surface has been in great condition and there's plenty of room for more to join us. Dave and Marie (pictured) showed off some of their smooth style for the camera on the 4th April.






We started back for 2013 on 16th January. Although our group is not large at this stage, we look forward to strong growth as the year progresses. The advantage to smaller groups is that I have more time to work with newcomers.
Classes are going along nicely at our new venue, with plenty of newcomers. On 11th November, the Tennis Club will hold their annual fete with thousands attending. Our group will have two half-hour demonstration slots, during which I will invite members of the public to join in a brief basic lesson. Hopefully, some will be inspired to continue with us.
Our group has kicked off at the West Lakes Tennis Club with some newcomers. This week, Blair and Helen visiting from Brisbane joined us for a few dances. Our new home features a television on the wall, so hopefully we will put it to good use with some instructional videos.
Starting on 26th September 2012 our classes will be held on Wednesday nights at the West lakes Tennis Club, 21 Edwin Street, West Lakes commencing 7PM. It's a big, classy and vibrant venue with lots of atmosphere. The dance room, while not overly large, is ample for a good-sized class.
On 17th August, we had some more newcomers who got into the swing of things, or rather, the jive of things. Our group has continued to grow and will look forward to big things on Friday evenings.
Our sessions on Friday nights have seen a continuing stream of new people come along to join us. On a positive note, it's a bit warmer in the RSL hall now that two of the heaters have been replaced.
