Rock & Roll is the most portable dance because wherever you go: a wedding, a ball, a party, there’ll usually be a Rock & Roll bracket. This is your chance to be a part of the fun. When you get back home, you’ll be able to teach your grandchildren! There’ll be daily lessons, in basic four-step Rock & Roll, starting from absolute scratch. If you’ve never danced a step, we’ll send you home dancing. Bring a partner if you can, but it’s not absolutely necessary. Shoes are best if they have just a little bit of slip. We’ll also do the Rock & Roll Waltz and whatever else takes our fancy at the time. Please note – since each of our lessons build on the one before, you will need to do EITHER lesson 1 OR 2, to progress to the subsequent lessons, OR already know the basic step. LINE DANCING — RAINEY PARSELL Rainey has been teaching our line dancing classes for many years now. These classes are also very popular. Most of the favourites are taught – Elvira, Boot Scootin’ Boogie, The Wanderer and so on. Start your day with fun and exercise. SOCIAL TEA DANCE This activity has been held for a few years now, and is popular with watchers as well as dancers. It is intended for those who already know how to dance. We’ll do most of the old favourites – Merrilyn, Swing Waltz, Barn Dance, Festival Glide, Alpha Waltz, Tangoette and more. There will also be modern brackets – Quickstep, Waltz, Jive, Rock and Roll etc. See the Daily Schedules starting on page 19 for all class and dance times. CMCA 34TH NATIONAL RALLY 2019 | 23
