Rockn’ Suzies dance classes are starting their 20th year.
The teacher is Sue Dodson who danced and taught with Starr Belle dance studio for 19 years before starting a rock and roll class which originally started in Nar Nar Goon.
This is now the start of her 20th year of teaching rock and roll.
She has run classes in Nar Nar Goon, Berwick, Cranbourne, Morwell and Pakenham.
“And I still love teaching people how to dance,” Sue said.
“I believe that Rock and Roll is one of the easiest of the dance styles to master as it allows for lots of individuality.
“The classes are designed to be fun and easy to follow for those aged 10 upwards. Dancing is great for fitness, co-ordination, balance and memory, and many people form great friendships through the classes.
“I am now only teaching at Pakenham and Cranbourne.”
The Pakenham Class is held in the hall where the library is – corner of John and Henry Streets. The Cranbourne class is held at the Senior Citizens Hall – corner of Codrington Street and the South Gippsland Highway.
Both of the nights have beginner and advanced rock ‘n’ roll classes open to all with no partner required. They also include a special class at the end of the night for partners only to learn some of the different styles associated with rock ‘n’ roll which include swing, west coast, jive, triples, line and partner dances and cha cha.
Rockn’ Suzies also runs a monthly charity dance at the Pakenham Hall which has been running for 17 years now. A different band plays each month which everyone in the community is welcome and encouraged to attend.
