Authentic Rock'n'Roll 1950s style.

By: --NA--

Product code: DB-RR

Originally recorded by Bill and Rosemary Oaks in 1984 and transferred from VHS tapes into DVD in 2013 this release is a TREASURE found in the archives. The work shown on it is incredible and must never get lost! This is exactly the REAL 1950s style that conquered the hearts of so many in the fabulous fifties. It is amazing how much solid content has been squeezed into a single DVD. This is because Bill's teaching style is very condensed without repeating himself and yet not omitting any detail. In Dancesport UK opinion this is the most important release of the year.
