^All lessons (except Blues Rock) are taught by the couple, so if you don't want to keep up with the course - you don't have to! However, lessons are structured with content suitable for beginner to intermediate dancers, so you can pick and practice on the content that suits you best. If you want more, just let us know and we'll have plenty beyond intermediate level for you too ;)
** This lesson is for all students looking to progress further from our course content. Participation requires completion of 3 courses in one of the other styles. Aerials (lifts, props, and drops) requires participation in either the Swing + Lindy Hop or 6-Step Rock'n'Roll course as relevant content is danced in/out. However, the lesson is FREE for those able to attend.

Social Nights
We are currently assessing our options for 2024...
Group Lessons
Monday Nights @ The Woombye Lower School of Arts Hall
(1/3 Hill St, Woombye QLD)
6:00 - 7:00pm > Swing + Lindy Hop (Beginners+)
Music: Slow-Mid
Beginner level lessons in Slow Swing and
Lindy Hop, providing the basics of the style that may be developed into slower or faster swing styling as preferred.
Swing is a perfect option for those who have never danced before and want to take things slow and cruisy. Meanwhile, those who want to play the music or get moving faster also have plenty of options to develop their dance. This dance style feels both so elegant and expressive; or when you ramp it up into Lindy Hop - so explosive and sheer fun!
This lesson may also be used by couples interested in other sower styles such as Jive or 4 Beat Blues, if prepared to learn during group lesson practice times.
7:00 - 8:00pm > Rockabilly (Beginners+)
Music: Mid-Fast
Learn the Rebel's dance! Great music, great style, and great fun!
Beginner level lessons in Rockabilly, providing the basics of the style that may be developed further in our Intermediate (7pm) class. As a faster style, Rockabilly is the perfect option for those who like pumping music and want to get moving!

Wednesday Nights @ The Woombye Lower School of Arts Hall
(1/3 Hill St, Woombye QLD)
6:00 - 7:00pm > Blues Rock (Beginners)
No Partner Required
Music: Slow-Mid
This is the basic content and skills from our
4-Beat Blues courses. The lesson is intended
to promote social interaction and, hence,
keeps everything simple: 4 beats, 4 steps^^.
Perfect for beginners or those without a dance
partner. Also perfect for those who love their
rock music with a strong dose of blues - think
George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The
Rolling Stones, ZZ-Top and more.
^^ Note: This is not "4 Step Rock 'n' Roll", which
is 4 steps danced across 6 beats. There are
many similarities though.
Next Steps
Wednesday Nights @ The Woombye Lower School of Arts Hall
(1/3 Hill St, Woombye QLD)
7:00 - 8:00pm > 6-Step (Tap or Kick-Step) Rock 'n' Roll (Intermediate)
Music: Slow-Mid-Fast
Lessons in "6-Step" Rock 'n' Roll and Kick-Ball-Change ("7-Step") Rock 'n' Roll. These lessons feature more demanding content and, whilst teaching from basics, it is recommended for dancers with previous experience in a related style. This lesson also provides the perfect starting point for students interested in introducing Aerials (lifts, drops, and props) to their dancing.
8:00pm - 8:30pm > Int./Adv. inc. Aerials
Whether it's to help support our local festivals and retro-dance events, or if you want to compete locally or across the country, Cool Cats wants to help you Take the Next Step!
Join us to develop your dance further and also improve your fitness. Aerials training includes stretching & warm-up, plus core exercises relevant to any lift-work during the lesson.
Note that this lesson is not set course content - It is not necessarily about new content or movements, but focused on improving upon what you have already learned. However, as Nathan can't help himself, there is always some teaching and time for questions, critique, and guidance. :)
