SEE YOU AT RANDELL'S

For almost forty years, ''See you at Randell''s'' was the catchcry of local teenagers and school children from Manly to Palm Beach on Sydney''s Northern Beaches. Long before the electronic age and mobile phone apps the Randell School of Dancing was an unofficial dating site providing a safe, secure, drug and alcohol free environment in which young people could mix and mingle with like-minded individuals and members of the opposite sex. Its principals Peter and Valerie Randell were well known throughout the district for not only providing a unique, well supervised outlet for teenage energy but also a safe rite of passage from schoolchild to young adult for generations of young people.
