In its second year, the event held at Warrnambool’s St Pius Hall attracted rock and roll lovers from as far as away as Adelaide, Horsham and Gippsland.
Event organisers and dance partners Hal and Leeanne Greer said the dance festival offered more than just dancing.
“It’s a chance to relive the 50s and 60s,” Mr Greer said.
“We get teenagers right through to us oldies all having a great time of it.
“Our goal now is to make this an annual event and we want Warrnambool to really get behind it.”
