    Victorian R'n'R Dance Hall of Fame

    It is important to give recognition to people who make a special effort in their particular community. That is why the Victorian Rock'n'Roll Dance Association has recently established the Victorian Rock'n'Roll Dance Hall of Fame.

    Four identities, two individuals and two couples, have been selected to be the inaugural inductees.

    The letter advising these inductees that they are now part of the Victorian Rock'n'Roll Dance Hall of Fame includes this wording:
    " ... made a notable contribution to Rock’n’Roll dancing over a significant period of time."

    The inductees are (in no special order) Little Maria, Kevin & Carol Ross, Jenny Croydon (R'n'R News) and John & Heather Jarman.

    Their induction was announced at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Thank you to the members who attended the AGM and who have kept this exciting news a secret until all the inductees could be properly notified. The Hall of Famers will receive their awards at the 2014 Victorian Rock'n'Roll Dance State Championships.

    It was a difficult process to select a final four to be the first recipients of this honour. We did not want to award too many places and so swamp the Hall of Fame. However these people clearly stood out as worthy recipients.

    It's your Association, get involved. Good ideas are always welcome.
    Make sure your R'n'R club or dance school is getting best value.

    It's great to be recognizing the hall of fame inductees for their contributions to the RnR dance scene. I look forward to seeing many more acknowledged and thanked for their tireless efforts over the years. And a good way to entice Kevin and Carol back to Melbourne for a visit.

    Re: Victorian R'n'R Dance Hall of Fame

    Happy to hear about VRRDA's new initiative in introducing a Hall of Fame to recognise and reward those people who have spent many years promoting the rock 'n' roll dance scene and in teaching the dance to hundreds of people over the years. I feel those inducted this year are all deserving of the recognition. There will no doubt be many more people nominated and inducted in years to come.

    Just wondering Robe - is there going to be different categories in the Hall of Fame? Like one for promoting the dance scene, one for bands & musos with long history serving the rock 'n' roll public, one to recognise rock & roll dance champions etc etc. Is there also a nomination system whereby rockers can put forward nominations or is it only going to be based on deliberation of VRRDA committee members?
