23.01.2022 We have had an enquiry from a couple wanting to learn a basic waltz to perform at their wedding. Dancing to What a wonderful world. They have six weeks to learn. Any volunteers to earn an extra few dollars. Could use the hall either before or after classes on Monday nights. If no takers suggestions appreciated.

21.01.2022 BLACK COFFEE OR SWEET TEA? Another night of fun, energetic dancing. A really great group of dancers and supporters enhance the experience. We welcome our new dancers and look forward to seeing you next week. Have a safe and happy week.

21.01.2022 BURNING THE FLOORAnother great night of dancing. To day we would like to acknowledge and thank the efforts of Dalveen and Erin for their consistent and dedicated help. Peter would be under a lot more pressure without them. Again last night we saw the return of some of our regular dancers. Welcome back. We also welcome our new dancers. It was great to see a full house and everyone having fun. Please don’t forget that we are still operating under Covid 19 regulations, so please don’t forget to pre register.

21.01.2022 WALTZ ACCROSS WEST END Another night of energetic fun and frivolity. A special welcome to our new dancers. We look forward to seeing you again next week. As usual many thanks to Dal and Erin for their help. We would also like to thank our long established dancers for the time and effort they are always happy to put into our new dancers. We work on the theory that there is no i in TEAM !

20.01.2022 Another night of great dancing, fun and frivolity. I believe everyone was impressed to see our brand new dancers really enjoying themselves. We wish to advise that we will be dancing next week, Monday 5th October 2020 despite the day apparently being a public holiday. Have a safe and happy week. Please keep smiling and dancing, and please remember that we are still governed by Covid 19 social distancing rules and pre registration conditions.

19.01.2022 WOMEN ARE LIKE TEA BAGS, YOU DON’T KNOW HOW STRONG THEY ARE UNTIL YOU DROP THEM IN HOT WATER. Peter and I will be absent for another couple of weeks on sick/ business leave. We would like to acknowledge the supreme effort being put in by Dal and Erin to keep the group dancing. If anybody associated with Just 4 Kicks would like to teach a dance at anytime please approach Dal and Erin. Christmas is fast approaching. We would like to organise some sort of ...get together. The Cricket Club, due to Covid 19 restrictions is unable to rent out the hall for groups larger than 20. I enquired about a night out at Stagedoor theatre on Magnetic Island. Whilst some people were keen we appreciate that it is an expensive night out, consequently we have cancelled the booking. We are suggesting that maybe a few of our dancers get their heads together and see if an idea can be hatched for a Christmas celebration that suits the majority whilst still observing Covid 19 restrictions. Peter and I would like to thank you for supporting and understanding our present situation. Most importantly, we are eternally grateful to everyone that has stepped up to keep the group going. Stay well and keep dancing. See more

17.01.2022 DANCINGWe are back on Monday 27/7/20 at our usual venue, Cricket Club hall, Harold Street, West End, 7pm start. In consultation with our loyal and regular group we will still be non contact dancing, observing the 1.5m distancing regulation. With 15.4 million people throughout the world with Covid 19 and 640 thousand deaths worldwide as a result of the disease we are committed to do whatever is necessary for as long as necessary to stop the spread. We request that if you are not feeling well or have been in a non complaint situation, please stay at home. Please also remember, if you have not done so already, confirm your attendance.

17.01.2022 COVID 19. As most people know I still work, running two family owned businesses so I don’t have a lot of time to devote to social media. However, I did receive an unconfirmed notification this morning that one of the local dance groups has closed to allow them to comply with TCC Covid 19 regulations. I stress that this advice is yet to be confirmed, however, if true, I feel that our strict compliance with the current health regulations has been vindicated. Above anything else we must protect the security of this country and it’s inhabitants.

15.01.2022 HAPPY FEET Another full house and a real workout last night. Great to see the return of members of our dancing family that we have missed over the past couple of months. Your enthusiasm hopefully is contagious. When you sit down to have a relaxing coffee this week remember Sweet Tea might be more enjoyable! Have a great, safe week.

14.01.2022 Apologies for our absence last night. After a few days of feeling unwell Peter literally bundled me into the car on Monday morning and transported me to the emergency department at the Townsville University Hospital. Despite having private health cover and the Mater being closest to home Peter insisted that I come to the TUH. Within 4 hours of our arrival I was diagnosed as having a bowel obstruction and was being wheeled into surgery. Apparently I dodged a bullet by only a c...ouple of hours. While I was prepared for surgery Peter rushed home picked up the sound system set it up at the hall delivered a key to Dal and rushed back to the hospital. He didn’t get the opportunity to see me before I was operated on, however the outcome was much more positive than expected. I anticipate being here for about five days then home to rest and recover. This means our trip to Coolum has been postponed and you will no doubt see Peter next Monday. Many thanks to Dal and Erin for stepping up and taking over at short notice. Thanks to all concerned for their support. See more

13.01.2022 DANCING WITH ATTITUDE Another night of fun and frivolity. We welcomed back one of our regular dancers and a new dancer. It was great to see you both ladies. Thanks to Olga for mentoring Betty. Last night Peter wanted to see attitude from our dances. This request certainly bought out the thespians in our wonderful group. Absolutely gold star attitude was demonstrated from June, Olga, Barb and Gaye. Followed closely by everyone else on the floor. It was great to see everyone laughing and having fun. We are still operating under Covid 19 restrictions and the terms nominated by the cricket club. Please remember to pre register your attendance and bring your own refreshments. Have a great week, stay safe and dancing if no one is watching.

13.01.2022 POWERING ON A big night of enthusiastic and energetic dancing last night. Lots of variety and energy expended. If you know of a dance that you would like to see taught please don’t hesitate to let us know. Alternatively, if you know a dance and would like to teach it yourself, Peter would be more than happy to share the headset and give his dodgy knees a break. Have a great week and stay safe and healthy.

12.01.2022 WE ARE BACK TOMORROW NIGHT WITH ANOTHER FULL HOUSE operating under the current Covid 19 restrictions. There has been some confusion this week regarding contact dancing. The State Government Industry Plans and the Ausdance performing arts Covid 19 plans do not apply to social dance groups. We are governed by the Townsville City Council health regulations which clearly state no contact dancing. Advice from the TCC on Friday indicated that they are aware that some groups are ignoring the rules and as a result will be inspecting and issuing fines. Australia is no doubt the best country in the world to live in. Let’s not put the health of this whole nation in potential danger by becoming impatient and thinking we are above the current rules and regulations. Looking forward

08.01.2022 WHOOPSIE, I am a day late with this post and a couple of our readers are worried. All is well at Chez Ingram, just very, very busy. Last Monday saw another great night of dancing. The oily hip movement prize goes to June and Barb. Your interpretation of Red Hot Chilli Salsa, was certainly very saucy. Next weeks class is almost full, so if you haven’t registered please don’t forget to do so. To clear up any confusion we will be continuing with non contact dancing. We bel...ieve this is both the legal and responsible action to take. Something that I posted last week for the benefit of our dancers attracted some really surprising feedback from some people that we have never met. The Just 4 Kicks Social Dancing Group is a privately funded group that charges a nominal entry fee to help pay the rent, insurance, licenses etc. There is absolutely no hierarchy or egos involved. We are a happy group that welcomes like minded women and men of any age. We like to think we are a champion team, not a team of champions. Our web page is for the benefit of our group and anybody that might be interested in joining us. It is not a forum for other groups to use to advertise or argue. SERMON OVER Stay healthy, compliant and safe. Keep on smiling and dancing See more

06.01.2022 JOHN TRAVOLTA eat your heart out. Another night of dancing and fun. Last night was a bit like watching the walking wounded at a dance off. Maybe weather related but a few sore knees, feet, backs and hips last night. However, that never stops our group from enjoying themselves. We will be back next week observing strict Covid 19 regulations. Sanitising where necessary and maintaining the 1.5m distancing requirements. Whilst we are not contact dancing we are trying to provid...e variety. If you are a couple you are able to dance side by side in the circle dances. We want everyone to be assured that we take our responsibility to keep everyone safe and healthy very seriously. We have two couples away next week, meaning as I type we have vacancies. If you haven’t joined us for a while please do so. You will be made very welcome. Pre register by texting 0418 244 433. Have a great week. See more

04.01.2022 DANCINGDue to a number of people being away, last Monday night was a little quieter than normal. However, it was great to see some of our regular partner dancers return. We welcome you back. As it is obvious that the pandemic is spreading at a rapid rate we believe that the stance we have taken in regard to non contact dancing is the legal and responsible action to adopt. If we are all prepared to make some personal sacrifices in the interest of the health of our ...nation the sooner the country will return to some semblance of normal. Peter is hopeful of having both of his knees replaced before the end of this year. This will obviously put him out of action for a few weeks. Consequently, if anyone feels they would like to take over the head set and teach, even if it’s only for one dance, please let us know. If we work together as a team we can overcome any obstacles. Please don’t forget to register for next Monday. Thanks to those that have already done so. Keep smiling and have a great week See more

04.01.2022 HOME SWEET HOME. Many thank to everyone for their lovely thoughts and messages during my hospital stay. Glad to report that I am home now, and whilst I have absolutely no complaints about my treatment and care at the Townsville University Hospital I do enjoy my own bed and love the person I share it with. Our trip south has been postponed, however, you will see Peter on Monday. Many thanks to everyone, especially Erin and Dal for their help and support.

03.01.2022 LOVELY SURPRISE. This morning Peter and I had a surprise visit from Dalveen, Erin and Sandy Price, all armed with good wishes and goodies to spoil us. Your lovely thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery for both of us is more appreciated than you will ever know. We thank you for the beautiful Get Well card, chocolates and lovely indoor plant. We both feel as if we are on the mend after a pretty traumatic series of events. Thank you once again and God bless you all.
