Ahhh...a ballroom dancer! My parents taught it, so I obviously know how to and have always enjoyed the opportunity to do so.
Feel better soon! :-)
My Mum and Dad used to dance so I was sent to dance class. I'm sure it was just an excuse to get me out of the house regularly as a kid, but: "Cheers Dad" :)
I was 11 years old, and there were girls there, which was a bit icky at first, but after a year or so it became rather good fun. Over the next few years I lost my virginity (many times <grin>) and amassed a sideboard full medals and awards (for dancing <sigh>).
I ended up dancing in a formation team for 'The North' on TV, many times in heats and semis c1974. Over three seasons we won our section each time and the North won overall twice.
'Come Dancing' done it!
I gave it up to join a band and play bass guitar and, strangely, I have rarely danced again.
Ah yes, I remember been glued to the telly when `our Andrew` was on come dancing.
'come dancing'
That could have been messy. Did you have to take your own cloth?
....sorry!
