The classes start back on the 2nd February, all classes will have a new beginners class, so if you know anyone who would like to start, now is the time. Good way to get rid of that Xmas cheer and have some fun.

See you all soon.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone,

I can't believe we are half way through January, where has the time gone.

We kicked off the year with the first social at Jenny's at Sussex Inlet early in January, it was great to catch up with you all and to get the dances back into my head, as I haven't danced since the end of November.

We did a few old dances with a quick run through to jog the memory, this was a good start to the year with a relaxed social and good friends.

I have updated the diary for the socials so far this year that I know about, If I have missed any socials please let me know. More information about the socials are in the Diary section, this is the list so far.

SCLD Xmas Party December 7th

On Friday the 7th December, 31 of the Shoalhaven Country Line Dancers went on the 2 hour Shoalhaven River Cruise.  I wish I was there, but I had Nanna Duties in Queensland for the whole of December. 

The gang looked liked they had a fantastic time, lots of smiles and trivia questions about linedancing

We were also lucky with our pick of the day. Kaysan won $3, Collette won $16 & I won $12 in the $1 sweep, I did spend $14 at the betting station so I lost $2 which wasn't too bad.

Proud Mary

The girls did some Linedancing on the cruise so go over to the Shoalhaven Linedancing Info Page to watch a small video of our girls performing Proud Mary on the ship.
It was lots of fun, It's not the whole dance but enough to put a smile on your face

Cruising the South Pacific

Well here we are almost the end of another year, this year has been full of socials and fun days for all line dancers and hopefully many more to come.


My husband Rob & I have just returned back from our 10 day cruise visiting the South Pacific Islands of Noumea, Lifou, Mystery Island & Port Vila, My favourite was Mystery Island, beautifully coloured & clear waters which were very inviting. Here are some wonderful photos of the trip.

Always plenty to do on the ship, they have a great crew making our holiday a fun and stress free time, I would be looking forward to another trip on this ship in the future.

Shoalhaven Country Line Dancers 50's & 60's Theme

Shoalhaven Country Line Dancers had their annual Social weekend on 6th & 7th September (voting day) Friday night was a meet & greet social with requests, we had about 40 people attend it was great to see the number of people who had travelled from all over New South Wales. Lithgow, Sydney, Canberra, Candelo(West of Bega area) good to see you all again girls. 

Saturday afternoon workshop was hosted by the charming Maddison Glover who taught 5 dances to suit all levels of dancing which started at 12.30pm and ran to 2.30pm, this was attended by about 60 line dancers, great to see the crowd, all their to learn new dances to teach their classes.

Then the big night, with all our committee & helpers to transform a dull auditorium into something bright & vibrant.

This was a picture taken of the auditorium before the social started, thanks to Rob who always puts in a great effort to impress everyone who enters the hall

We had our entertainment for the night & Simon Pavitt didn't let us down, singing 2 songs, Music of the Night, You'll never walk Alone, which had everyone on the feet applauding his talented voice.

Maddison also entertained us all with her exciting performance to a fast Rock & Roll song to go with the theme of the night 50's & 60's. I wanted her to do it again because it was so fast and there was so much in the routine, but she declined walking off. Oh well I might get to see it again another time.

The girls put on a great show with our yearly entertainement for the night, which takes us at least 6 months to learn. You all did such a great job, I can't believe we practice for so long for 3 minute dance. But according to a lot of people it looked fantastic, thank you girls for being a part of our show, its much appreciated.

The whole night went extremely well, but I had lost my voice and many thanks to Jenny & Maddison for helping me out on the night and kept things running.

We thank you all for coming along to this annual event and hopefully see you again next year. We will look forward to the next themed party not sure what it will be yet to be announced later in the year.

Ros & Stan 50th Wedding Anniversary

Well the socials just keep on coming, with 2 more for this month of August. Ros & Stan had a fantastic party over 2 nights to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary in Canberra. We first arrived in Canberra about lunch time did a bit of retail therapy then went back to the motel to get settled and to get ready for the night ahead.

Friday night was a greet & meet and there must have been about 200 people there at least, with linedancers from different states including Queensland having Brett Jenkins visit us, Victoria had about 60 linedancers all in black & Yellow shirts especially made for Ros & Stan's Celebration and lots of linedancers from New South Wales. The whole night was requests only and we checked out numerous dances suitable for our class that looked like a lot of fun.

Saturday morning more retail therapy, so cheap and great stores, wish they would set up in Nowra(we have nothing here). Then off to the workshop with Gordon Elliott to learn some new dances, one was especially choregraphed for Ros & Stan it was a love song and a waltz, very nice. 3 other dances were taught, all suitable for class.

Back to the motel for a bit of R & R and a glass of wine or two, then get ready for the big night. When we arrived their must have been at least 300 people dancing to the great songs that we know so well. Stan put up a great dance program that catered for every level. We didn't know a lot of the dances but the challenge was there and we jumped onto the dance floor and followed who ever we could that knew the dances, hit and miss for some dances but most were fairly easy to follow. 

Thanks for a great weekend of fun Ros & Stan and happy 50th Wedding Anniversary. See you at the next social.

Tom Glover August Social

Tom had a wonderful social on the 10th August, starting at 7pm till 12.30am with fantastic  entertainment with Simon Ward & Maddison Glover & Elise (Maddison's competition parter) strutting their stuff. Great program for the night catering to every levels of dancing.

We had 12 ladies & gents come along to enjoy this night, I think they were blown away with the talent of the younger dancers.

It was great to catch up with friends in line dancing that we haven't seen for a while, That's the best part of dancing is the social side to it.

Thanks Tom & Donna and Maddison for a great night happy 20th Birthday celebration of Line Dancing.
