Reflections on Kwinana Savvy Seniors 'Remember When?' Disco

Seniors Week 2023 Grand Finale

On the dance floor we all agreed with Patrick Hernandez as we belted out that it is indeed ‘good to be alive’ (born to be alive), as we showed off dance moves like ‘greased lightning’ - or is that just the ‘jive talking’!

With help from DJ Dion and MC extraordinaire Pauline, we did indeed remember when; with everything from the twist and Nutbush to the macarena. A karaoke screen confirmed we all had the right lyrics and even provided an opportunity for having one’s fifteen seconds of fame!

Merle’s dress was dazzling (literally) – get those fishnet stockings! Suzanne was clearly ‘going to San Francisco’, with flowers in her hair as Scott McKenzie suggested. On the subject of hair…Jean’s purple frizzy locks were simply amazing. Annette declared herself a ‘Mod’ with large daisy earrings and bright blue eye shadow and the Hippy Twins stole the show!

Yes, it was all happening at the Kwinana Bowling Club on Saturday 18 November, ensuring that Seniors Week closed having created its own special memories.

President Dean and his wonderful team of volunteers welcomed us warmly and as always, provided an excellent supper. ‘Remembering when’ is apparently hungry business.

Oh, and we even had line-dancers! What a hoot as those experienced patiently showed their routines to the rest of us. There were at least three versions of ‘Nutbush’, but we turned right together every time! Is it a little cryptic to ask if there is an analogy in there somewhere?

Groovy man!
