Just Rock Gladstone is a local dance club, offering 4-Step and Rockabilly lessons for beginners and experienced dancers as well as social get-togethers.
Our rock n roll dance club was formed in 2002. We dance two rock n roll styles, 4-step and rockabilly. Everyone is welcome to come along and join in including beginners and those who already dance. It's all about fun and friendship.
Dance lessons are held on Tuesday nights at the Gladstone Bowls Club in Ferris Street, Gladstone from 7:00 pm. The typical evening consists of 40 minutes beginners, 25 minutes intermediate revision, 15 minutes partner dance revision, a 10 minute break, 30 minutes intermediate new move/revision and 30 minutes free dance time. The last Tuesday, February through to November, is a social night so dress up and join us to rock the night away.
All new Beginners are an integral part of our club. Lessons are $5.00 per person per evening. When you pay for your first lesson you will get a free entry voucher for the next social night at the Gladstone Bowls Club. Beginners are encouraged to stay on after their lesson and practice what they have learned while the intermediate class does revision. For beginners we recommend learning one style initially and mastering that before attempting the second style. It takes a considerable time frame along with a lot of practice to become competent.

Newcomers are always welcomed. We understand that you may have learned a different style to the ones we teach and you are most welcome to adapt them to suit yourself outside of lessons. 4-step and rockabilly are distinct and different rock'n'roll styles and both are fun. Each and every member continues to learn and that's what makes it so much fun.
You may apply to join our club by filling out a membership form and paying an annual membership of $15 per person. Members then pay $4 per session and have a club name tag with their membership number. Raffle tickets are also available at the door.
Our club organises several dances a year with live rock n roll bands. We also meet at the Swinging Blue Jeans (SBJ) lounge in the function room at the Diggers Arms Hotel, Bell Street in Calliope. Check out the Dances & Events page for dates.
So come along and join us for fantastic nights of 1950's,1960's rock n roll music and dancing. Plus some great rockabilly.
