No Matter What Shape (your stomach is in) is a song with a slower rock beat. It's good for triple-step dancing, which doesn't work so well with a fast pace.

The Knack's My Sharona was a No 1. hit around the world in 1979. It has a strong medium pace beat, which makes it good for rock n roll dance.

The single most common mistake made by novice Rock n Roll dancers is being too tense when they dance. This results in stiffness and rigidity as opposed to flexibility. When we dance, we move our bodies in unusual ways. To do this effectively, especially in time to music, we must be flexible. That means we must ease up. Relax and shine.

When you have a pleasing partner it's natural to want to 'promenade' them. Forget the board-walk, you can do it on the dance floor and give them a Turkish towel to boot.

Rock n Roll dance is no sinking ship but in South Australia at least, it could be headed for a watery grave. Alcohol is a problem.

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 delightful dancing that will likely have inspired some spectators to attend Rock n Roll dance lessons.

What we are concerned with here is the classic and very common cry of a man during dancing of "You led!" (How dare you?)
I am convinced that there's more to this than meets the eye!

Winston Churchill wrote that after he died and arrived in Heaven he would like to spend a good deal of his first million years painting. I'm no artist, except with the BS perhaps, so after I die I think I would like to spend a good deal of my first million years dancing Rock 'n' Roll. But just what will Rock 'n' Roll be like in Heaven? Perfect, of course.

Modern acrobatic Rock'n'Roll, popular in Europe. Different from authentic R'n'R of 50's. Higher kicks instead of steps/flicks, usually danced to modern rock or pop music. Faster and more dynamic dance with more demanding acrobatics. Shows and competitions. All levels of acrobatics. Learning slowly in safe environment. For all levels, beginners, advanced... Everybody can do it!
