We found ourselves, last night, at the Tasmanian Rock 'n' Roll Championships which was held just across the road from our unit. The main competition is held today but last night was eliminations, and so on. What a hoot! Most of the performers were of my vintage with the hairstyles and dress sense of the 1950s. Black and white dancing shoes are de rigeur.
There were some young people there as well; two teenage sisters from Toowoomba were spectacular dancers and we had a chat with a young local girl who was one of the judges. It seems that some people travel from over all Australia to take part in the various championships.
One older couple had all the moves and clearly spent a lot of time practising. I tried to get a photo of them but they were moving too fast. Luckily, I found an image of them on the Internet. Note the daggy shoes.
We knew we would be busier when we came to Deloraine but rock 'n' roll was never in our thinking.
