Objectives of the Club
To establish and maintain an association of local persons to enjoy the sport of Rock'n'Roll dancing and to further skills in dancing, while enjoying the social interaction of fellow members.
Lessons
Our regular Rock'n'Roll classes are held at the Port Macquarie Citizens Hall located at the south end of Munster Street. Classes are on every Tuesday evening, doors open 6:45pm and class starts at 7:00pm. The first session is from 7:00pm to 7:20pm and specifically focuses on Rock'n'Roll basic steps and turns. This session is perfect for raw beginners or anybody having problems with the Rock'n'Roll basic step or turns. From 7:20pm Steve teaches our first class, everyone from this class should attend the second class too. From around 8:20pm Steve will teach an advancing class.Lessons are taught in a large circle, so if you are single there will always be someone to dance with. The circle periodically rotates so you'll never dance with the same person for long. Couples are welcome to join the circle and dance with more experienced members or you can learn the moves together in the centre of the circle. If you want to get a group together, you can form your own circle in the centre.
Cost for lessons is $5 for members and $8 for non-members. Membership costs only $10 and is open to everyone.
Classes are generally taught in blocks of 8 weeks. You can come into class at any week, there are always more experienced dancers to help you get up to speed. The next block of eight lessons is advertised in our newsletter so keep an eye out for the next start date.
