Beach Birthday Party – A huge success.

 

Backbeat celebrates 1 year on the Coast!

 

Last Friday night, we celebrated 12 months on the Sunshine Coast. DJ Chris provided an awesome mixture of music. We had Backbeat, Ceroc Club Brisbane, and Jiveworks demo teams perform their fantastic routines. A Big thanks to Graham & Sue (Ceroc Bris) Joe & Sonya (Jiveworks) and Ray & Kimmie who worked so hard choreographing the routines. We appreciate all you Brisvegas folk for traveling all the way up from Brisbane, Friday afternoon traffic is always full on.

 

We had over 80 people rock up and dance the night away, Our prize winners walked away with a grin. Jo & Mike won a box of chocolates for best dressed, ripper life guards! Think Mike was disappointed he didn’t need to resuscitate anyone.  Newcomer Mike won a Car Protection Kit valued at $200 from Tint Man. Peter won a full body massage voucher from Diane Houghton Therapeutic Massages, valued at $55 (go Pete) and Byron won a $88.00 voucher to be used towards any carpet cleaning services from Bright Aire Carpet Cleaners, well done guys!

What’s New at Backbeat?

 

 

New Segment

We have introduced a new segment into the Sunday night classes!  We want to see you guys have fun out there and continue to grow in your dancing.  That is why we have introduced Dance OFF!  If you were at last Sunday night’s class you would have seen it.  Dance OFF is where the Beginners and Intermediate dancers show the moves they learnt in class at the end of the night.  It’s done in a group format so its fun for everyone.

 

Doors Open at 5.45pm – Recap Classes

Repetition is the mother of all learning, which is why we are now opening our doors at 5.45pm.  The music is playing so come on in and have a dance before class.  Instructors will be available to ask any questions and to review the previous week’s lesson.  

 

Increasing the Support Crew

In our May newsletter, we are going to catch up with the Backbeat team and find out a little more about them. Plus we have new dancers joining the team………………..stay tune.

Heroes and Villains party photos

 

 

The Heroes and Villains party was a huge success, those who didn’t make it missed out on a great night with a special performance from Matt and Ashley.  The night also included special numbers from Owen and guest artist. The costumes were great and people danced ‘til their toes fell off. It was a great night and we’ll keep you posted for the next party. Congratulations to Leone and Eleanor for a top night! Ask Constable Jaz about her special dance she had with Clyde! Pirate Ivan and Dianne won best dressed, and the Fairy God Mother received a special prize, where’s Nurse Betty?
