    Smile 6 Step Rock & Roll Dance?

    Does anyone know?

    FIGJAM, in her "Kurri Kurri" review, made reference to a fantastic young kid who danced the "6 step" rock & roll - seemingly, the same dance style that the Kiwis employed to win all the Wintersun dance competitions. So much so she wants to learn it ........ hey, better hurry girl as we have been waiting for yonks trying to score a dance with you. LOL

    Is the "6 step" rock & roll same as Fourmost's tap step, tap step, replace step? Or maybe the Boogie Woogie steps?

    Any information would be good. I wouldn't mind learning it myself.

    There was some discussion on here a while back about 8 step and something similar from (of all places) Sydney. I recall others thought it very very similar to jive. There are so many variations I dont think it matters too much as long as punters are enjoying the music and having fun.

    That was great Terry, especially the guys dancing with 2 girls at once and picking them up and throwing them around.

    Joceb,

    A guy dancing with two girls is either called Doubles or Triples, depending on which R'n'R university you went to. It is a competition dance event.

    If you liked the NZ footage you can see all of this live at the 2008 Victorian Rock'n'Roll Dance Championships in Epping next month.

    Check www.vrrda.org.au for all the details.

    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.
