Last time they had a swing band from Sydney which most people said was lousey. Most of the show was about burlesque and they asked people to come onto the dance floor to see the shows. This meant it was really hard to find a place to dance. Not impossible but difficult when people around you are drinking on the dance area. So if you think you are going to a night of dance think again.
Cmon, there was heaps of stuff happening and most people werent dancers. If you thought it was just about dancing then of course you would have been dissapointed. We had a great time, a ball in fact. Dont know about the music, I'm no expert but they sounded fine to me. Maybe just not your scene? we are going again
