SCoolHouse Rock & Swing

SCoolHouse Rock & Swing Teaching Lindy Hop/Swing and Rock'n'Roll classes in Echuca. They are both qualified teachers with many years of experience between them in the classroom.

Wendy and Greg Gilbert were the Principal Teachers of S’Coolhouse Rock and Swing located in both Maffra, Eastern Victoria and Echuca, Northern Victoria. They began their dance partnership in Sale in 1997 and quickly began competing. They were Wintersun and Victorian Rock & Roll Dance Association title holders over their six years of competition dancing. Wendy and Greg began dance teaching in 1998

and before long had regular weekly classes in both Heyfield and Maffra in country Victoria. In 2002 they ventured to Perth, WA, where they ran regular dances, and also taught Rock & Roll and Swing classes four nights a week. During their time in Perth they were part of a corporate performance group, ran many demonstrations, gave private lessons and were employed as choreographers and teachers for a number of private and professional events. Wendy and Greg are now enjoying retirement, and have personally trained teachers running the Echuca classes. They have also taught workshops all over Australia, including Qld, NSW, Vic (country and metro), Western Australia and Tasmania. Their love of all styles of dance is infectious. Dave and Vicki had taught in Echuca since 2008, including 12 months intensive cadetship under Wendy and Greg, and over that time have conducted workshops at the Return To Rock Festival in Melbourne Vic, in Benalla Vic, in Perth WA, and several at the Barham and Mulwala, NSW Rock and Roll Festivals as well as in Launceston, Tas. Although new to the competition side of dance, Dave and Jo (who now teaches in Echuca with Dave) have competed in the Victorian Rock and Roll Dance Association’s championships, and have been place getters each time, dancing in the teams events and individual events, also place getters in the inaugural Melbourne Open Championships and Cooly Rocks dance comp. They all love dancing and enjoy teaching others, hopefully, to fall in love with the (dance) experience.

‘A day at the races’, well ours was not a patch on the movie scene, but the music was pretty darn sweet and we did enjoy the dancing!
Thanks to the Echuca Racing Club for a great day out! And Eddy & the Exciters for the music 🤪

Lots of fun in September at a venue that is looking after dancers. Very well done Black Swan Hotel Bendigo.

Tonight! See you there 🕺💃

Is it nearly a quarter of the way through 2024 already?

So, what have you been doing?

Dave and I have been relocating to a beautiful new home of our own, which has taken up a lot of our time. While I have been feathering our new nest, Dave has been doing his best to accommodate my suggestions, including moving dirt from here to here and then , no, perhaps, it would be better back there😁

On the dance scene?

We have a special couple of nights coming up that we would like to share with you!

Bendigo Jailhouse Rockers Club have invited us to teach a partner dance called Rock Crazy Jive over the next two Thursday evenings.

Everyone is invited to come along have a go!

This dance is not just a rock ‘n’roll partner dance, it is a sequence dance which has been on Ballroom dance programs in the surrounding area.

Jive sequence dances include triple step Rock’n’Roll, or a chasse in ballroom terms.

So, we are mixing it up, as we always do at S’Coohouse!

See the attached flyer for all the details!
