About Us
Rockin' the Gold Coast Since '91
Gold Coast Rockers is a 1950s rock n roll dance club that has been bringing people together on the Gold Coast since 1991. Every Wednesday night, our members and guests come together for dance lessons, live bands, and the kind of fun that never goes out of style.
Whether you're a seasoned dancer or have never set foot on a dance floor, you're welcome here. Our friendly community spans all ages and experience levels, united by a love of rock n roll music and the joy of dancing.
We're more than just a dance club — we perform at aged care homes, march in the Cooly Rocks On and Wintersun parades, and host special events throughout the year.

All Ages on the Floor

Quality Time Together
Put the screens away and swing your partner instead. Dancing creates memories the whole family shares.
