If you're reading this we know you are passionate about Rock'n'Roll dancing. What about having a good time and hanging out with friends? Yeah, yeah, I know. Silly question. Well you've come to the right place. We've put together an event where you get to experience all these things and more.
Sadly, the rumours you might have heard about Summersun are true. Wintersun's little brother will only be running at a much reduced capacity this year. But your social life doesn't have to suffer because of it. Created by Rock-n-Rollers for Rock-n-Rollers, The Bumper Day Out has arrived to fill some of the vacuum.
You'll have ample opportunity to polish up your dance skills, learn some new moves and revel in all things Rock and Roll. Bumper Day Out is a whole day to celebrate summer, fun and dancing. Take a look below and check out all the brilliant things on offer.
Welcome To This Year's Newest Event
Squeezy Dancing Workshop $35
Sick of being kicked, elbowed and squashed whenever the dance floor gets packed? Do endless basics get boring because the lack of room prevents you from doing anything else? You're not the only one.
We have hand picked a selection of dance moves that positively rock in a tight space. Revealling them here for the first time ever, we'll help you stay one step ahead of the pack.
Squeezy Dancing will revolutionalize the way you dance at the Mustang Bar and any venue that pulls in the crowds. If you love social dancing, this workshop is a must. But hurry, everyone wants this information so it's sure to sell out fast.
Dance Lifts For Busy People $35
Have you ever stood by enviously watching dancers enjoying the really fancy stuff? I'm talking about lifts, slides and drops. You may think it all looks too difficult to learn. Certainly the harder ones can be a challenge and take hours of practice. And who's got time for that ??
Here's the good news. We'll be teaching several fantastic lifts that anyone can learn. Perfect as an introduction to liftwork or as a refresher, Dance Lifts For Busy People will have you jump-'n'-jiving like you were born to it.
You'll also get all the technique you need to perform lifts, slides and drops in complete safety. There's never been a better time to learn the essentials of this exhilarating side to Rock'n'Roll. Become the envy of others!
Moods & Music Workshop $35
Like all music, Rock'n'Roll showcases a wide range of emotions. However, few people take advantage of this to express themselves differently with each new song. Their movements become routine and lifeless repeating the same old stuff.
Moods & Music can liberate you from dance-step drudgery. Test drive these 2 different styles or characterizations:
First there's "Fun and Funky". This mode lets you have fun with all the goofy lyrics popularized in Rock'n'Roll songs. Enjoy yourself like never before!
Then there's "Hot or Flirty". A more intimate style of Rock'n'Roll. It's perfect with a close friend or when you really want to make the dance floor sizzle . . .
Exploring both aspects will help you to develop a much deeper connection with the music.

FAQ's
What style of Rock and Roll will be taught?
The timing of moves and lifts will fit into any style. So regardless of your footwork preference you will be able to use ALL the material. The workshops will mostly be presented using Tap-Step.
I'm only new to Rock'n'Roll. Will it be too hard for me?
Much of the workshop content is aimed at helping people become more versatile at a social level. If you've had at least 6-8 weeks experience you'll do just fine.
Do I need to have a partner?
To be fair on everyone and ensure they get their money's worth, you will need to book with a partner. If you can't find anyone we will happily take your name and join you up with someone on a first come first served basis.
I prefer to stay with my partner. Will we be made to swap?
During the lifts workshop there will be no swapping. For the dance workshops you can stay with your partner for the whole time if you wish. However, for some moves you may be asked to rotate to better your understanding of the technique. The choice is yours.
Wow! This all sounds great. I'll bet it costs a fortune -??
Not at all. Each workshop is $35 and lasts for one and a half hours. If you pay for all three workshops before January 31st you'll get a $15 discount.
