You dancing?

I love this one.
Apparently this is a genuine interpretation of the song by this dance group.

Learned ballroom, Latin and rock n roll back in the 70s
Now all I can manage is a bit of shuffling about to favourite music.

I did ballet until I was twelve when I had to give up because we moved and there were no classes. Did ballroom in my teens and in the WAAF. The WI I belonged to did country dancing and we had competitions against other WIs.
On TV once they had some young dancers doing country dances like those of Jane Austin’s time. They were exhausted. Now I can hardly walk let alone dance. I love ballet and wish there was more on TV not just at Christmas.

I've never watched ballet, apart from a couple of things which were recommended to me.

I have recently joined a Silver Swan Ballet Class and am enjoyiig it though find it a challenge to brain and body at 68.

I’m 86 and go to keep fit/ dance classes three times a week, I look forward to it and feel so much happier when I’ve been.
I’ve had two knees and one hip replaced and been told by doctors to keep doing what I’m doing.
I often trip the light fantastic around the kitchen too.

You put me to shame.

I do a bit of dancing in front of Top of the Pops' most weeks. It may help in the mobility department and while the weight loss has been successful it is very slow.

Me too! Especially when I've stuck my hand under the scalding hot tap!

I really miss the line dancing I started at 68. I was hopeless for about two years but gradually got the hang of it. Then, several joint replacements and now one leg longer than the other and I am worried about falling down.

My partner and I go ballroom and Latin dancing. Love it.

I was forced to take dancing lessons when I was 11. I lasted 6 weeks. Never again.
And I don't like music anyway - so I'm a lost cause.

Dancing/Dance Halls! Brings back wonderful memories. Probably nowadays the only place a gentleman can hold a lady without being accused of something or other!

Rufus, did you ever go to dances at Belle Vue?
Or the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool?

Buffy: 'Fraid not! Too young! We were living in Wythenshawe when Dad moved to a new job "darn" South in Slough just before the war; quite a big move for those days, leaving all our Aunts and Uncles in M/c. Only saw Blackpool tower during our annual holiday pilgrimage. All my dancing "skills" were developed at ballroom dances at various Town halls and the like, but "strictly ballroom", waltz, foxtrot, whereas Vera was a natch at Samba, rumba even tango with a silver medal in something or other. I still wonder why she put up with my style; she must have welcomed "Excuse me" numbers! Any way, I revelled in it!
How about you Buffy? Did you glide the light fantastic at the Tower?
Happy Days
