We started dancing late in life and wish we had had the opportunity to dance when we are much younger. But wow! watching those who have danced from an early age, the training and opportunity , combined with their hard work and talent, what a privilege to see them perform.

They are very good and I know lots of folk like watching these displays. I can't help feeling that five minutes of my valuable dancing time is being stolen from me! I don't like sitting watching someone entertaining me. I just want music and for us to be up dancing as a couple. We get a quick gulp of liquid in between numbers.

The charming lady in the blue dress is a regular at the ballroom and has been dancing there for a lot of years. There is a core of regular dancers, many flamboyant with a common thread of a love of dance. Hope their dancing years continue.

Eddy, what's the dance called that everyone does, with a little kick and a little clap and a little twirl - all in sequence? :)

The Sally Ann cha cha has a turn and a clap of the hands as partners 'chase'. Some dancers also punch the air and shout on the turn. Is this what you have seen? Hope you enjoyed the video.

And we were 70'ish when we started dancing and have fallen in love with dance and will continue to do as much as we can for as long as we can.. We meet many lovely people of a similar age or older who love to dance too. We have a teacher who danced in a BBC come dancing formation team. He glides over the floor too. Thanks for your note.

The lovely lady is a regular dancer and during this dance was eventually partnered by a lady. But generally she will have her pick of a number of single male partners who are also regulars at the tower.
