A big thankyou to all club members who attended the 34th State Square Dance Convention held at the William Light School over three days Friday 29th to Sunday 31st August, especially those who also worked as convention committee members.
Although there were few dress sets, their quality was excellent. Kanella Squares was represented and there was a combined dress set from Wild Frontier and Adelaide Outlaws, many dancers in that set being members of both clubs.
Whilst on Saturday night there were about 12 squares up with many people sitting out, Sunday had a few less. The afternoon dances / workshops were excellent but unfortunately not as well attended. If you wish to improve your dance standards, I suggest next year you make every effort to attend these events.
That reminds me if you want to brush up on your mainstream, come along to our Thursday learner’s classes at 7:30 PM. Our dancers have advanced well into the mainstream program; you may find it a bit of a work out.
Back to the convention; the level of calling was of a high order, Richard Muir really challenged the capabilities of our dancers. Jeff, and our all time champion Colin Hudson ably supported Richard, with Graham Elliot and Les Tulloch pitching in to give us a varied and colourful dance/program.
The black and white theme for the Sunday evening dance was well supported. Jeff wore a black shirt and white tie. He looked more like the Godfather or a hit man than a square dance caller, thank goodness he didn’t spill his pie and sauce down that pristine tie.
Once again congratulations to all those involved.

How can we attract younger square dancers? April one of our younger dancers is a very proficient Mainstream and Plus dancer, an excellent example of what the club needs. We need more April’s if our club is to thrive. Do you know any young people who would be prepared to give it a try? This is long term planning, the next learners class is not until mid August 2009 so you have plenty of time to think about this.
If you know anyone who is interested (young or old) and they have an e-mail address, please pass it on to Jeff, Roger or Robert so we can place them on our email distribution list. We can then keep them informed about what is happening and they may even like to “come and try” at one of our future fun nights,(currently in the planning stage).
If you are a visitor to this web site please send us your information by adding a comment below and we will put you on our list.

At our mainstream night Friday 15/8/09, it was nice to welcome back Doona Young who hails from Victoria. Over there, Doona dances with the Activates club in Frankston, a Melbourne suburb. She last visited us when she came over to see her mother on Mothers Day (Doonas mum lives over here). This time she is here to collect her mother for a trip to London.
In the second photo it looks like our elder statesman Colin (90 God bless him) is telling Doona how we do things in SA (only joking). We hope you have a safe journey and a lovely holiday. We hope to see you back soon, (thank you for helping us out by doing a couple of dances as bloke).

Click on images to enlarge. There are captions to the pictures but I can’t get them to show so from the 1st picture they are:
Everyone had a great time; Here I am where are the ladies?; Even us learners can dance; Lady in red; Elves?; Wanted has anyone seen this man?; Get out of my kitchen!!!!!!; You danced well I’ll give you a 9
The club held a square dance “Christmas in July” dance party on 25th July. The event drew a good crowd, including two of our new learners - fearful of what they would experience. They were great (we all remember what it felt like to join a big bunch of more experienced mainstream dancers). After the 1st bracket, called at their level, they commented “at least we didn’t break down the square “. Later that night they got dragged into full mainstream dances wondering if they should actually know these strange calls. Never the less they like everyone else had fun, and the food…..
What a spread, the club committee and the dancers did a commendable job. Even Jeff could not finish of the food. Christmas cake (sober and drunken), mince pies, meat platters, savouries, dips, sandwiches, cakes, nibbles and chocolate we had it all.
Well done - cant wait till next July

At our ANZAC day dance, four USA dancers paid us a visit. Peggy & Steve Koehler from the Bee Sharps Bridgewater, New Jersey http://www.squaredancing.com/beesharps/ and Rich & Sue Baumeister from Pearl River, New York (sorry but we don?t have their club name). All four dance at member clubs of the Northern New Jersey Square Dance Association http://www.nnjsda.org/ and became friends when they met at a dance on neutral ground - you are sure to meet a lot of people when square dancing.
Pictured each side of Jeff Seidel are, Peggy & Steve Koehler (left), Rich & Sue Baumeister (right), flanked by taxi drivers Robert & Sue (left) and Helen & Roger (right). In the second picture we added Jennifer one of our younger dancers who is proficient at Plus level.
Everyone enjoyed the evening immensely, they also danced an A bracket (pictured) before the evening was over
