And a Merry Christmas to you Eddy. Thank you for the wonderful videos all year.

Although very simple these videos have created a ' diary' of different dance experiences for me and hopefully they ' ring a bell' for people that view them.. Nice that I can share these moments.

It was a lovely, fun day. We spoke to people from all over the country, on holiday and day trips. A family of 'first timers' were mesmerised by the ballroom and the atmosphere .

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.

Yes. There are times when some dancers will do something different to the announced dance. We feel that it adds to the atmosphere.

Eddy, what's the dance called that everyone does, with a little kick and a little clap and a little twirl - all in sequence? :)
@eddydonkin42167 ай бұрын
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 ballroom is still alive and well. The atmosphere, just as special. New visitors visibly gasp in wonder as they enter. The refurbished floor and the new gold leaf make it even more special. Long may it be there.

There is a good group of friendly regular dancers at the ballroom enjoying the atmosphere and loving dancing. Good to see the dance floor busy with groups and afternoon teas visitors too.
