It’s Cooly Rocks On Week coming up.. Whats happening? Where are we?

Hello beautiful people,

What a week!  My floor looks like the dressing rooms of a major retail store on boxing day sales!  Clothes everywhere!  Packing for our trip to Yeppoon, then unpacking then washing then packing again for Cooly Rocks On!  I’m so glad I have a whole studio to throw down outfits and decide what makes the cut and what doesn’t.. All this and yes we still work and yes we still pop our 2-3 times a week to teach and dance!  No matter!  I will sort that mess out after all the fun has been had right?

Breaking down and speeding up the Shim Sham to get you ready for Cooly Rocks On and 3. We will give you some entry and exit mini patterns to get in and out of the Jam circle for the finale at the dance.  If you are not going to the Moonlight Swing Dance, this will be a great class for you to pull out anytime you want to impress!
