Today is International Day of People with Disability. At City of Burnside we support (among others) Club Slick a monthly dance event for adults with disability that encourages and facilities appropriate dance etiquette through a structured program with a professional choreographer. It provides an opportunity for people with disability to socialise and develop skills, enabling increased participation in community activities. With a focus on retro rock 'n' roll dance and music, participants have the chance to join in set dance routines as well as free dance with a partner.
Pre COVID-19 more than 200 people with disabilities attended Club Slick every month in the Burnside Ballroom. Now in its seventeenth year, Club Slick relies heavily on community support and volunteers.
