Rock 'n' Roll is:
- easy to learn. Most people can do it -
- extremely versatile. It suits a large range of modern and older popular music -
- a great social activity for meeting new friends and partners -
- inexpensive. Anywhere there is suitable music you can dance -
- suitable for young and old -
- well established. Its practised around the world -
- very suitable for amateurs as well as pro dancers. You don't need to be perfect for fear of being laughed at -
- a great fitness activity -
- a socially acceptable way for ladies to show their knickers in public (but gentlemen don't notice!) -

James and Ann are at home in centre stage
At Adelaide's Henley Square the ground shakes, the windows rattle and the cameras roll on a regular basis. And why not? The summer weather here is almost as hot as the pink outfits that two of our star dancers were wearing.
On Sunday 4th December 2005 a group of dancers took part in a demonstration arranged in conjunction with the Adelaide Rock n Roll Club. It was a dazzling display of delighful dancing that will no doubt have inspired some spectators to attend Rock n Roll dance lessons.
Open-air demonstrations are a great way for the dancers to enjoy themselves and for the public to enjoy watching the dancers enjoy themselves. The tourists and beachgoers at this popular seaside spot get more for their money than just a latte at one of the numerous cafes. They get first-class entertainment as well.
It must have been a great afternoon because later at the Semaphore Palais, another popular Rock n Roll venue, Ann was jumping for joy, as you can see from the photo. Luckily James is a good catch!
It seems that while some pub patrons like to get high others prefer to get airborne, putting paid to any suggestion that Rock n Roll dancers are people with their feet planted firmly on the ground.
These sorts of moves are definitely not recommended for complete beginners. James has been a Rock n Roll dance instructor for many years.
