Cheryl & Wayne
Yes it's an early start, but you're guaranteed that Cheryl & Wayne will bring some fun to your Saturday morning!
Plus... We will have the coffee on!
These guys started teaching in 2008 with the Foster Rockers until 2011, moving to NSW in 2013. They've done guest teaching with Shoalhaven & Bomaderry RnR Groups.
They returned to Victoria in 2015,
taught a term at Latrobe Rockers
& then they started the
Mexican F.I.F.O. Rockers.
Maybe you caught one of their
workshops in Merrimbula?
If not come & say good morning
& start your day with some fun!

Workshop
Hooked On Rock is run by Anne and Rein Hermens in Traralgon. Anne has been teaching Rock and Roll, for 28 years, and Rein for about 22 years. Anne was lucky enough to have been made a VRRDA R ‘n’ R Hall of Famer. Together have taught in Traralgon, but have also in many of the outlying little hamlets around the Latrobe Valley.
Rein & Anne
They were fortunate enough to have been asked to teach at Cooly Rocks On, a few times. Rein and Anne teach 4-step R ‘n’ R, Cha-cha-cha, Swing, Lindy, line and partner dancing. They have run many dances, demonstrations and workshops. You will enjoy their line/partner dance workshop!
3 - 1.30pm
Workshop
Tash & Andrew
Meet Tash & Andrew from S’CoolHouse Rock & Swing. Most of our locals know these guys really well & I'm sure by the time their workshop starts, you’ll recognise Andrew too, as he is also our DJ at our Festival.
Andrew has been dancing, competing & teaching for many years & has a lot of knowledge to share with us all.
With countless competition titles that span from regional competitions to state and national titles, he specialises in the technique and fundamentals of Rock ‘n’ Roll dancing.
And his lovely partner in life Tash, has been dancing since she was a young child & was an instructor with LE Rock for many years & also has some wonderful tips to share too!
They are looking forward to sharing their knowledge and expertise with us & putting us all to the challenge at their workshop!
