hi, as you mention Rock& Roll and Rockabilly are you refering to the Australian way of distinguishing Rock & roll 'back step (or three beat) and rockabilliy (two or four beat) with no back step?
if so yes it is simmilar to Rockabilly, but the music is different, slower and more pop/Latin/swing based
This enables a more complex move patterns + greater musicality (well that is the theory)
I would class Rockabilly as the true roots of classic 50's Rock & Roll performed by artists such as early Elvis, Carl Perkins, Sid King, sonny Burges etc. and R&R with the likes of Bill Haley, Buddy Holly etc.
In the UK dancing to Rockabilly involves very fast Jive or Bopping, most tracks are in the 180bpm - 220bpm range
I would suggest you try Ceroc, and as others have said hang on in there for a few weeks - but dont give up the Rock & Roll
