All I can do is line dancing and that’s getting too complicated for me these days.

Jaxjacky Sun 04-Jul-21 13:05:06

Sorry Alegrias1 didn’t realise, ? I was 5 and soon after we moved south forevermore.

Whatdayisit I spent two weeks in Scotland and not one dance, I was on a walking holiday though ?

How lovely. Shame about the dancing!?

Alegrias1 Sun 04-Jul-21 12:23:28

The Sword Dance isn't a Scottish Country Dance smile

Scottish Community dancer. wink

Picky, picky old me..

Jaxjacky Sun 04-Jul-21 12:20:32

Anniebach I was taught Scottish country dancing, including the sword dance, at school, Perth Academy.

Oooo Anniebach when you get your invite to Balmoral you can join in the highland fling with HM. Apparently Scottish dancing is her favourite.

You all put me to shame i could do sport but not dancing. Although if i hear Echo and the Bunnymen or a bit of BabyD I'm transformed straight back in time and now i just look like an old granny hankering for the 90s. Cart horse comes to mind.

Anniebach Sun 04-Jul-21 11:32:35

In school we were taught Scottish dancing, so useful in Wales !

maddyone Sun 04-Jul-21 11:21:48

I learnt ballroom dancing as a child. I’m not terribly good at it now though.

mokryna The lady with blonde hair was Diana's sister Lady Jane Fellows married to Robert Fellows private secretary to the Queen. The other lady was Lady Sarah McCorquodale sister of Diana... Just the Spencer family present.

If I tried to dance I’d probably fall over. I’m in awe of those who can.

Callistemon Sun 04-Jul-21 10:18:13

My mother was brilliant at the Charleston, apparently!

I must take after my Dad.

Anniebach Sun 04-Jul-21 10:15:38

Don’t try the Can Can , I did ?

Callistemon Sun 04-Jul-21 10:02:47

Sorry - only did tap as an adult!

Callistemon Sun 04-Jul-21 10:02:20

Something to be proud of, Anniebach
I must say I wasn't too bad at the jive but I never did ballet and tap as an adult.
I can fall over my own feet (and have)

Anniebach Sun 04-Jul-21 10:02:04

Alegrias the person on the motor bike was definitely a man,
the witness said so

Anniebach Sun 04-Jul-21 09:59:37

Callistemon I won two dance competitions, if the Jive and Twist count as dancing ?

FannyCornforth Sun 04-Jul-21 09:59:19

'Morning Alegrias! smile
Very good timing!

FannyCornforth Sun 04-Jul-21 09:57:52

Anniebach

With respect Fanny it works both ways

That's a bit cryptic for me I'm afraid.
If you don't like me, just ignore me please.
I'm not going to engage in an online psychodrama

Alegrias1 Sun 04-Jul-21 09:57:40

Morning, your friendly advanced community dancer here smile

People I have trained with for many years wouldn't get on a stage if you paid them. Well, we're all amateurs but you know what I mean. People dance for many reasons and performance is just one of them.

BTW, where was Camilla, hiding behind the bushes? Or was she speeding by on a moped along with a dog in a scarf?

Callistemon Sun 04-Jul-21 09:57:38

mokryna

What shocked me was that Camilla was present at the unveiling of the statue. If is wasn’t for her, I believe Diana wouldn’t have died. Maybe I see it from a different view as I didn’t live in the UK or Europe at that time. Harry blames the press that I understand but the root of it all was his father and her. The press followed the story but there had to be something to begin with.

Neither Camilla nor Charles were at the unveiling, mokryna

Here's a list of those present:
