May was reasonably quiet on the line dance social side, but quite hectic on the Rock & Roll side.
I spent the 2nd weekend of May in Queensland with Leanne, Ben & Madison, she is now 16 months old and running around everywhere, We spent Mother's Day together and Ben took us to a creek where we threw pebbles, Madison loved doing that, then went out for dinner. The week went far to quickly for all of us, Leanne & Madison will be back down to visit us again at the end of June.
The following weekend we had a Burlesque function at the St Georges Basin Country Club, which was quite an eye opener, with Pole Dancers and all sorts of funny looking things from the sex shop, tattoo stalls and us Rock & Rollers doing a few demos, we looked pretty staight compared to the others. This event took up the whole day, very enjoyable.
Then the next weeked was Canberra, with our first swing lesson with a young couple from the Canberra Swing Cats, they were very flexible showed us a few new moves, this was a 1& 1/2 hour lesson in a very cold hall early Saturday morning. We then visited a few friends for an afternoon cuppa, before heading back to the place we were staying at to get changed into our Rock & Roll gear for the big night.
On Saturday night the social started at 6.30pm starting with a great routine taught by Pip & Dean but the brain was a bit slow and was not taking all the moves in quick enough, must have been that lovely champagne that we had to kick start the night off.
They had a large Brass Band playing some classic songs, I felt like I had gone back in time with the sounds of Glen Miller Band & other great bands from that era. A couple of singers also belted out a few tunes to Ella Fitzgerald Also playing were "The Fuelers" that played Rockabilly/Rock songs, they were fantastic
The next day we had a lovely breakfast at a corner Hotel, then off to the markets, then spent some time at the War Memorial, then our first visit to Cosco that was an amazing place, they sell everything.
June is coming up next with lots of Line dance socials & shows at the Entertainment Centre in Nowra.
