“Outside In” Choreographed by Diana Dawson, nice easy beginner steps. Lovely song with a good beat by Lane Turner song called Outside Looking In. “Babylon” Choreographed by Fred Whitehouse.  A lovely high-end beginner dance with one restart. Once they mastered the heel grind turns they really enjoyed it. Steps go well to the song by OMI. “All The Kings Horses” Choreographed by Peter and Alison. Although this is classed as an Intermediate the Improvers coped really well with this dance. Goes along nicely with the music “Out of Sight” by Midland no tags or restarts, think this one will be with us for a while. “Gypsy Queen” Choreographed by Hazel Pace – I have been dancing this for some time now, however, this is the first time I taught it to my Tuesdays class who have recently stepped up a notch from the beginner stage. Seemed like a challenge for them to start with but they soon mastered the steps to a great piece of music by Chris Norman. Dances and step sheets can be found on the Dances page   Take care and see you all soon Marina & Chris

Hello Everybody This was our ninth annual dinner and dance at Lakeview Manor. Chris handed out the quiz sheets in between courses, which kept everyone amused. Soon we were on our feet dancing. As the afternoon progressed we had the quiz results as well as “Make me something from the balloons” competition for the second year running which was not an easy one to choose from as they were all very good. Congratulations to Angie for winning the balloon competition and to Lynn and John’s table for winning the quiz  from “Everything begins with “N”, “Taking the Chris” and the last quiz which was a real teaser – one question that caught them out the most was –  from which film was this saying  “Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads” Yes it was “Back To The Future” Would you have got that? More dancing followed – see playlist below, and then before we knew it was time to say goodbye. It was a fabulous day, thank you to the staff of Lakeview Manor for looking after us. Thank you to everyone that came along and making the afternoon so enjoyable, view the pictures in the gallery   Look … Continued
