HOW TO FIND THE CLUB

To find the club from the eastern areas of Sydney, the easiest is to take the M4 motorway west and exit at Wallgrove Road.  Turn right onto Wallgrove Road and follow that across The Great Western Highway where it become Rooty Hill Road South.  At the intersection of Francis Road and Rooty Hill Road South a sign to the left indicates Rooty Hill RSL.  Take this left turn and follow the road through a gentle curve to the right, through a roundabout and over the railway bridge. Pass through the set of traffic lights past the club and on the left an entrance to the car park will provide ample parking.

To approach from the Blue Mountains proceed along the M4 east to the Wallgrove Road exit turning left from the exit onto Wallgrove Road and follow the above directions which will allow you to find us with a minimum of fuss.

What we get up to on our dancing nights

We dance two nights a week at the club.  Both nights are very different and each has its own special atmosphere.

Wednesday is a learning night and is programmed early in the evening for the lessons and those starting to learn dancing.  After the lessons I work through the lesson dances previously learnt plus repeat the current lesson a few times.  After this I progress to the remainder of the dances available and often do a few requests towards the end of the night

Saturday night has an hour of request time at the beginning of the evening,  Following that I play a programme of 50% sequence dances, both new vogue and old time, 25% modern and 25% latin. Saturday seems to have a more formal atmosphere and we often have visitors popping in from up the coast, from other states or old friends who have moved away but come back to catch up with friends.  The crowd at both nights are very friendly, and make visitors welcome.  I am very proud of the way people are so happy to share their dancing pleasure with others at Rooty Hill.  After eighteen years we have a very close knit and friendly group of people who dance with us.

 

I hope you take the time to come to the club for some dancing, I certainly enjoy it and trust all those who come regularly do as well.
