Another great weekend was had line dancing with Peter Metelnick, Alison Biggs and guest Choreographer Ria Vos who taught many new dances which should keep me busy over the next few weeks! We danced some old favourites and many more besides. Saturday night’s theme was ‘Disco’ and from flashing head gear to flashing foot wear I think we did well.
