VENUE: Helltown Hotrods, Kybong QLD:
A big shout out and thank you to everyone who has supported us since we took over Hell Town Hotrods in January 2025, we totally appreciate you all … our customers, friends, local community, staff and HTH family have been so wonderful in helping us and for this reason we are dedicated to getting things right.
To this end, effective immediately, our café will be closed for the remainder of 2025 as we continue with major electrical upgrades.
Closing the café was not something we envisaged when we started our new journey this year, but as the necessary maintenance and electrical works have been our priority, our health has suffered and we feel we must put this first to get back on top of everything life is about. In particular, Sandy hasn’t been able to sing for almost 6 months and this is a priority for us to get back to doing what we love most … playing music together.
With Hell Town Hotrods having a history of closing, this is a decision we haven’t taken lightly and hope that when we reopen the doors in 2026, you will be back to support us as a local business and music venue.
Sandy & Gavin

Pam and Roy Blowers have been creating a portfolio of online utube dance lessons and will be continuing to add to the collection.
The concept behind our online utube dance lessons is - mixing styles and steps according to one's level of fitness and physical ability.
We have created a facebook page, which lists all our utube videos, (see link under Classes page) - we are up to Utube 49 and will be continuing to add to our collection. Their lessons include Rockabilly, 4x step jive, swing, and some partner dances and are still absolutely FREE.
You can google: 'Rock and Roll Dance Stylle Mix' and lots of iTune videos pop up that way.

[FREE Rumba basic step lesson] You can use this move in any social dance situation. In this video lesson you will master the "side basic step" in the American style Rumba. This is the most basic step of the Rumba and is perfect for beginners. We break down the count, the steps for men & women, lead and follow + tips!

DANCE FLOOR COURTESY
Here is the Gold Coast Rockers Etiquette on the Dance Floor:
1. Wear clothing and dance shoes that make it easy and enjoyable to dance in.
2. Personal Grooming - Shower and use a deodorant. Always take a hand towel, deodorant and a clean shirt to freshen up.
Brush teeth and use mouthwash or breath freshener. Abstain from foods that produce strong odours eg. garlic. The odour
of cigarettes on one's breath or clothing is unattractive.
3. Please ask ladies: Would you like to dance?
4. Please ask men: Would you like to dance?
5. Declining to dance: No thank you, I'm taking a break.
6. Sharing the floor: If there is a mixture of dance styles on the floor, ballroom or circle partner dancers have the outside
circle heading in an anti-clockwise direction. Rock n Roll dancing is in the middle, Swing on the side.
7. Dips and Lifts: The only thing to be said about aerials on the social dance floor is: Don't do them. While they may look 'cool'
the execution of aerials requires training by a qualified instructor. Don't do them by yourself unless you are trained, and
certainly don't do them on the social dance floor.
8. Today's beginners will be the good dancers of tomorrow, so be nice to them and dance with them.
9. Smile, be warm, be personable, be nice.
10. Be considerate of other couples on the floor. Exercise good floor craft. No large steps to be taken, dancing should be
done in a 3 ft circumference.
11. No stilettos to be worn on the dance floor.
12. Be happy, be social and have FUN
