About us


Southside Rock and Roll Club Inc. started in 1990 and has been running continually in Canberra since then.

The Club started at the Dutch Club in Mawson when 6 couples turned up for 6 weeks of lessons and quickly grew into a much larger group of dancers from all over the ACT, Queanbeyan and nearby areas.

Our Club had its home at The Burns Club in Kambah for around 15 years and more recently at the Austrian Club in Mawson. The Club uses various venues in and around Canberra, including Canberra Deakin Football Club and Slovenian Club in Philip.

The dance styles we focus on

Rock'n'Roll is a partner dance typically danced to rock'n'roll music.

Rockabilly is generally danced to faster music and has typically rotational motion and momentum.
