Dancing at home with online dance classes

8th June 2020

Online dance classes to watch at home

After nearly 2 years away from dancing, I’d hoped that 2020 would be my year of returning to dance classes. Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic got in the way of that plan, so I was expecting to have to wait until normal was back again. I was going to be dancing around my kitchen for a…

A Chorus Line at Warwick Arts Centre

10th February 2020

Ballet Central summer showcase

Quite by accident I spotted an ad for the Ballet Central summer show at Chipping Norton theatre.

24th January 2019

flirty dancing - what about dance

If you’re in the UK, you might have come across a Channel 4 tv show presented by Ashley Banjo (of Diversity fame), called Flirty Dancing.  Usually it’s the type of show I’d read the excerpt for, sigh and ignore. But I can’t resist a dancing tv show. When I came across it while flicking channels…
