Backbeat are a social group, we love new people coming along and the best way to get to know each other is through social activities.  The last social event was a huge success, and this one will be the same.  Breakfast and bowls at the Caloundra Bowls Club on Arthur Street. 
The Caloundra Bowls club have an awesome Sunday breakfast, a cooked brekkie for 2 people for $15.  Then we thought well why not add some extra fun and go bowling afterwards!  For an extra $3.00 you can join in and learn how to play bowls or strut your stuff and show us how it’s done!

Join us on the 1st June no later than 9.30 for breakfast and 11am for the fun to begin! 

Breakfast Cost:
$15.00 for 2 people or
$8.50 for 1 person.

Get a team together or we will put in a team and let the games begin!

Dance all those new moves you have been learning. Great music and top dance floor.

Baby and Johnny were hot last Sunday night.  We have been getting fantastic ongoing feedback about the class.  One of our regulars said “that was the most fun I’ve ever had in a dance class, we loved it”.  Johnny and Baby were hot and so were you guys!  There is no doubt everyone walked away with some sexy new moves in their dancing repertoire.  Don’t loose the moves, grab the DVD so you can continue to learn and practice them.  Shoot us an email and let us know which move from the night was your favourite!   I think the Mash Potato will be up there, it looked awesome! That was the first of our special theme nights, thank you everyone who came.  Stay tunes as we have a few more up our sleeves.

Backbeat are keeping their doors open after class for social dancing and everyone is welcome to come. 

In lieu of the RSL and their renovations we will keep the doors open and play a variety of music for all popular dance styles on the coast.  The music includes, Rock n Roll, Waltz and Jive.  Tell your friends, everyone who enters after 8.20 can dance for $2.50.  Not bad at all and feel free to bring a drink.   All class attendees are welcome to stay and keep on dancing.  Sunday nights are still full of fun!

Diane and Ivan are joining the team!  They will be available to ask any questions or feel free to have a chat, they love a chat and are very helpful friendly people.  Diane and Ivan will be helping once a month, Diane will be helping Ray look good in the circle, and Ivan will be teaching consolidation class.
