Dance Move - Drop spin
Every man knows that if you turn your back on a pretty lady she might be gone in a flash. If you should happen to drop her hand you might never grasp it again. But there's good news! The drop spin. If you can perform this simple, stylish dance move well, the lady won't be offended. Instead, she'll stick around for more!Light Arm Rock vs Rough-house Rock
Dance with her? No way! She'd rip the wings off a jumbo jet! Is he dancing with that woman or is he trying to beat her up? As light as a ton of bricks.In charge of skirts
I'm not sexist, but as a man I love to be in charge of skirts. Fortunately, I know some ladies who are not unhappy about that.Song - No Matter What Shape

The Boy From New York City as recorded by Manhattan Transfer in 1981 is an excellent track for Rock n Roll dance. It has a medium-fast pace with a strong beat.Relax And Shine
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.Turkish Towel Your Partner
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.Daydream Island for Elvis lovers
If you'll be in Australia in May 2014 and would like some top music-based entertainment, Johnny Welsh's Music Themes Australia has just the thing. Sole use of luxury Daydream Island in the Whitsundays for two separate events. Elvis style entertainment or 60s, 70s, 80s - your choice.Alcohol vs Rock n Roll
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.Henley Square Rocks
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.The Cruze Brothers - Adelaide Band
The Cruze Brothers are a four-piece combo of superlative musicians. They play live music at corporate events, provide backing for touring big-name artists, and provide great dancing/listening music at some of the more popular hotels and bars around Adelaide.Is "You Lead" a fair call?
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!
