When
did you start dancing?
I
started dancing when I was 11. Instead of P.E I joined a dance class. Miss McQueen was our teacher believed dancing was one of life’s joys
What makes dancing so special to you?
Dancing releases all my happy feelings that
even a ‘pensioner’ can participate and enjoy.
When did you start with Ballet4Life?
I started Ballet4Life 3 years ago as a result
of a casual remark made by a friend. “Guess where I went on Saturday - to
a Ballet class for ‘Oldies’“ she said
I
went along the following Saturday - I was made welcome by Chris who reassured
the class we all learned in different ways - to enjoy the class and always ask
questions if we were no sure of a movement. I have been going ever since - I
still feel discovering Ballet4Life has been my ‘Love my to go to place each week’
What makes B4l so special for you?
B4l offers an opportunity for all ages to be part
of an experience that allows us to engage with dance music taught by fantastic
teachers
