Eight Cambridge “stars” are preparing for their rock ‘n’ roll dance debut as part of a fundraising event for Cambridge Community House and Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari.

The have been recruited by the Cambridge Cruisers Rock n Roll Club to prepare for a March 18 dance-off at Karāpiro’s Sir Don Rowlands Centre.

The newbie dancers recruited are Waipā deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, Aleisha Moroney (personal and business coach), Amy Walsh (Cambridge Real Estate), Bhavin Parshottam (Lewis Lawyers),  Graham Baldwin (Professional Farm Services), John Mullions (C and R Developments), John Sutton (Cambridge Osteopath) , Shale Tangiahu (Go Waipā) and Stacey Cook (Cambridge Sportsworld).

Stolwyk says the experience has been so good she might carry on.

The “complete beginner” says dancing doesn’t come naturally and the three hours practice each week has tested her fitness.

But she’s developed a new love for dancing which is “harder than you think”.

Her partner is Hamish Line who she says has been exceptionally patient.

The song she will dance to will be revealed on the night, and she promises some “faster moves” – but nothing too daring which would prevent her getting back on her bike
