2022 VRRDA Victorian Rock n Roll Dance Championship

Imagine being placed in a time machine and get transported back to the 1950's era when rock n roll first bursts open like an all consuming fireball thrusting itself almost uninvited, and rudely intruded and interrupted the very conservative 1950's social fabric, culture and values as well as the music & dance scene at that period in time. There was Elvis the King, Bill Haley & the... [Read More]
