Lessons
ROCK 'N' ROLL BEGINNERS
5 sessions start Wed 3rd March 6:50pm for registration.
This is an entry level course to give you the knowledge and skill to dance Rock 'n' Roll at a
social level.
The lessons and mini hops do not qualify for your "first night is
FREE" deal. This you can use on the next ordinary club night if you
have not previously done so.
Classes are held at the Frankton Rugby Sports Club from 7 - 7.50 pm on
Wed club night. After the lessons is our regular club night which you are
encouraged to stay on for. Free tea/coffee/milo and a biscuit is
available.
Your teaching team is lead by experienced dancers and teach in an informal, friendly environment.
What you need to know:
- - No previous experience is required
- - Wear comfortable shoes ( rubber soled shoes are much harder to dance in)
- - Bring a sense of humour
- - $8 a lesson
- - Prepare to enjoy it
- - Partners not required.
- ..... but it makes a big difference if you can come as a couple,
we are always short of guys. Guys who learn to dance have
the girls lining up.
- - If you are unable to come as a couple we will try to arrange partners by mixing and matching
either with other beginners or club members who volunteer their time and are prepared to assist with the lessons.
- - During the lessons, all partners will be regularly swapped
around, in a circle, so you will get to dance with both
other beginners and some experienced partners. If sometimes we cannot
balance the genders exactly then once in the rotation around the circle
you may not have a partner for a short time.
- - If you come as a couple then you can either
choose to stay together or for a recommended better learning experience...join the mix!
- - Don't feel because you are a beginner that you would feel out of
place during the club night. Our members have a wide range of skill and
plenty who still feel a bit like beginners themselves. Its just fun to
dance and socialise.

- Some members come singly or in groups and enjoy dancing with other members in a similar situation
- others come as a couple but still have the odd dance with other people
- other couples come together and do not wish to dance with anyone else
- It’s a personal decision which we all respect. Please do not take
offence if you don’t get asked to dance quite as often as you might
like.
Please let us know via our
message form if you intend coming to the beginner classes.
After
the 5 weeks we have a shared supper. More information will be
available about this on this site and the regular club night.
