Brilliant afternoon dancing at The Tower Ballroom.
With no rehearsal for months Ian and I danced a Rumba, Swing and Waltz.
A couple of gentlemen invited me to dance.
I soon found myself being whizzed around the floor in a quickstep and cha cha. Fabulous fun.
Still smiling! ###
If you are interested in learning a few sequences to dance at The Tower please message me.
You will love it! ###

Random meeting of a stranger whilst cycling the village of Newton Reigny.
A day later teaching a dance exercise session to Lindsey, Jane, Patience and Willow.
A”nutty cluster” of very excited and happy dancers.
You never know what’s round the next corner?
Ian joined me as we enjoyed the spectacular views back to our caravan.

Such joy. Xx

I was delighted to welcome adult ballet beginners last night.
They arrived feeling very apprehensive and left smiling with a real sense of achievement.
Adapting the class barre for all my dancers, the ladies learnt the basic exercises and in the centre a ports de bras. Well done. X
Try this simple balance - I bet you can hold it for longer than I did!
Correcting myself- no tilting back! Use the core muscles Miss Gilda.
Always something to practice and improve.
Also a joy to welcome another student home from University who is missing her ballet class.
Spaces available for next Wednesday class at 7pm.
Please get in touch for classes in September.
