Dancers from the around the South West tangoed into the Uduc Hall earlier this month for their annual Spring Dance.

The seniors bopped non-stop until midnight, but luckily no hips were broken.

Organiser Brian Kealley was delighted with the turn out.

“We didn’t get as many people as last year, but more and more people are feeling confident to start going out again in WA after COVID-19,” he said.

“It has been great to start socialising again after the break.”
