HEART of the COUNTRY ball ~ round up

March 24th 2012 saw RED HOT and COUNTRY at the NSW state line dance ball, this years theme was Heart of the Country.

The organising committee, of which Kelvin is part of, did a great job with the decorations and organisation of this fun event with almost 800 dancers in attendance.
Kathryn and Kelvin were able to organise country singer Benn Gunn to come along and perform for the event.
Have a look at his awesome film clip of the night

The team from RED HOT and COUNTRY - Sam, Kelvin and Kathryn,  led the floor for a bracket of songs.

It was great to see everyone in their country gear helping to raise money for Ronald McDonald House, this year we raised $18,500.
What a wonderful effort from the line dance community.

Can't wait till next year ..... what will the theme be ???????????????
