Hurray and hurrah! Tomorrow evening will be my third time at Manchester Lindy. It feels so good to be dancing again.
I'm sticking with level 1 classes for now. Whilst I'd like to move into the level 2 class, I'm quite enjoying revision of the basics. And I know there will be some moves (think Charleston) that I'll need to go over.
The social dancing after class is also fun. And I do get to practice the more advanced stuff.
So now I've made the move, so to speak, perhaps I'll manage to get back to the ballroom and Latin, and perhaps even find an Argentine Tango class, in the new year. Watch this space!

How have so many days "danced" away?
So long since I last posted! There has been some dancing in between.
What sticks in my mind?
Well, definitely my birthday last year - great playlist, good friends, lots of moves on the dance floor. And I felt so good the next day - aches and pains seemed to have slipped away ... probably a lesson there that I should be pursuing a more active lifestyle.
There was also the annual weekend away with friends - usually this involves some kind of dance-related activity; but this year it was rather more sedate, as our trio of troubadours produced a 'pageant' marking the life and loves of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. "Why?", I hear you ask. Well, the reason is lost in the mists of time but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
And at the WI there have been a couple of dance-themed evenings, starting with Bollywood in March, and then a Lindy Hop/Charleston lesson from Velody in June.
But I still haven't got back to a regular class. "Must try harder in 2017."
