2019 QLD State Convention
The 38th Queensland State Convention was held in Rockhampton from the 6th to the 8th of September 2019.
The Rocky Twirlers Square Dance Club hosted the event and did a great job of decorating the hall in the 'Stars Of The Big Screen' theme.
Six Cane Country Squares dancers and three non-dancers travelled to Rocky for the 38th QLD State Convention.
We all enjoyed the dancing and catching up with people from other clubs.
Shirley Kelly had a nice surprise, when she was awarded a life membership from the Square Dancing Society of Queensland.
It is always great to see Matt and Anita on the floor dancing with us when they don’t get much of a chance at our own club.
The Saturday theme night dance saw some very recognisable movie stars and characters like Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz, Dolly Parton, Elvis, Carmen Miranda and Audrey Hepburn.
There was more than one Mini Mouse and outfits with the Lion King theme. There was a number of characters from Grease, two Captain Jack Sparrows and others, from the Pirates of the Caribbean. A number of cowboys were in attendance and ladies dressed in the style of red carpet movie star glamour.
Some costumes from more resent or obscure movies included, Arwen from Lord of the Rings, Danny Butterman (with swan) from Hot Fuzz, and a character from Dragon Ball Z.
Unfortunately our club caller, Matthew Mills was losing his voice by the end of the weekend and was unable to call on Sunday. Other callers stepped in to fill his spots, to finish the weekend with a full day of dancing.
