Club News
A great night was had by members who attended the collaborative photo shoot at the Nowra School of Arts with the Nowra Dance Group. The dancers were really keen to have us attend and spared no effort in getting dolled up for the occasion. A couple of large scenic backdrops provided by the dance group, along with some studio lights belonging to the club provided a nice opportunity for some classic portraiture shots but the real interest began when the dancing started.
Our members were allowed to roam freely around the floor capturing the dancers in graceful flight. We were, however, required to down tools and join the floor for a "rock and roll barn dance!" Who knew there was such a thing? Anyway, lots of frivolity and laughs as we did our best to imitate Ginger Rogers and Fred Astair (and if you don't recognise those names, you're too young).
I think the consensus was that we'll stick to taking photos. Eventually, the dancers requested a large group photo and, with that done we drifted off home.
I'm sure that all our members who attended are keen to go back again - at least on a yearly basis. As for the Dance Group, they would have us back again more often. Try not to miss the next one.
