CLASSES – Rock ‘n’ Roll Classes are held on Tuesday nights, starting 5th February, 2019 and run during Victorian school terms. Intro to Rock ‘n’ Roll classes start promptly at 6.30pm and Beyond the Basics at 7.30pm, with Social Dancing for class participants until 9pm. Bar facilities (including water) are available at the Seaview club.
PARTNERS – You do not necessarily need a partner as there will be some class rotation during the evening. Feel free to contact us if you are an individual student to assist in class balance.
WHAT TO WEAR – Comfortable clothing which allows you to move freely. Spare shirts and towels may be required for the comfort of others. Shoes should ideally be enclosed leather or suede soles which allow you to spin easily.
In the Intro to Rock ‘n’ Roll Class, we recommend students start in the first week or two as this is when the “core” basics are taught and start to become established. You can join in the Beyond the Basics Class any week during the term.
Be there or be square!

Jan O’Shea is regarded by most as Australia’s No.1 Lady of Swing and was publicly dubbed by the late great Frankie Manning who travelled to Australia for 10 years to workshop and teach with Jan right up until his passing in 2009, as “Australia’s Queen of Swing.” Jan commenced dancing in 1954 and by 1957 was the Australian Champion of Jitterbug which was the final Jitterbug competition in Australia until the revival of Lindy Hop/Jitterbug in the 1990s of which Jan was an integral and influential part of. Several times during the period 1959 – 1964 she was an Australian Champion of Rock n Roll dancing. In 1998, after 42 years dancing, she achieved what no other competitive dancer in the world had achieved by winning the Open Invitational Harlem and in 1999 won
the Australasian Open Invitational Championships in Lindy Hop/Jitterbug, Harlem/Slow Swing and Rock and Roll. Jan is the first fully qualified Rock n Roll dance teacher in Australia and she is currently Head of the Rock and Roll Faculty for FATD (Federal Association Teachers of Dance) and Head Adjudicator at the Pan Pacific Rock & Roll and Swing Dance Championships.
