Ask Kath Kent and dance partner Steve Bowden what attracts them to rock 'n' roll and there's one common theme - the music.
Both from Wellington, they dance for the Kapi-Mana Rock 'n' Roll Club. Dance partners, as opposed to life partners, they are in their 19th year of dancing.
They've danced at nationals and go to Australia every year to compete in their competitions and say they have done "pretty well".
"We do very well in Australia and always come home with trophies."
Kent said they both got involved because they liked the music, the dancing and the social contact: "We've met some wonderful people over the years," she said. "But it's probably the music more than anything," Bowden said.
