Julie writes a new dance - Secret Giggles!

Dear dancers,

I have written a new dance called Secret Giggles to She Said by Take That! This is the hidden track in track 12 called 'Here' on their new album 'The Circus'....to get to the hidden track you have to forward 'Here' about 5 minutes and 25 seconds.....the song 'She Said' starts with Gary Barlow giggling! hence the name of the dance!

I will be teaching this dance over the next few weeks, when we get back to class - in the 7.30 classes on both Monday and Wednesdays....but if you are a beginner and would like to have a go at it too, then please go to Andy's YouTube site EasyAMD and watch either a video of myself demonstrating the dance, or a video of me teaching one wall.....!

Imagine that! Me in your living rooms! haha

I hope you enjoy learning the dance as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Take That forever!

Bournemouth - Christmas Parties - and Thank Yous!


Dear Dancers,

Well the Christmas season is upon us and we have now finished our classes for 2008!

I am going to end the year by saying how much I enjoyed teaching you all this year, you are quite simply the nicest line dancers around and I feel very privileged to have you in my classes.

Our weekend break to Bournemouth has received a huge amount of positive feedback, some of the comments received so far are below

“we had a lovely time and would love to come again”

“the food was great, our waitress was a lovely girl, and my friends and I cant wait for the next trip!”

“as always everything was perfectly organised and you took great care of us all”

Thank you for all you lovely comments, cards and presents everyone – I am very touched. Xxx

Thank you also to everyone that dressed up for our fancy dress on Saturday evening in Bournemouth – your costumes showed great imagination (as always!). Panto was a bit of a tricky theme to go with (but what else could we do at Christmas!?) and it was great to see Viv as Buttons, Theresa as Dick Wittington and Kellie as her cat!, Lisa was Peter Pan, Lin was also Dick Wittington (oh no! could we cope with two!?)…and as you will see from the photograph we had plenty of other panto characters too, including myself who came as the Snow Queen….how could you all think I looked good with that wig!!!???

Mondays Christmas party was loads of fun down in West Wickham – you truly are such a lovely group of people – warm, friendly, never complaining, great dancers and all very close to my heart. Will I ever leave you? No!!!!

Wednesdays Christmas party was our new beginners first ‘social’ and they did fantastically well with remembering all the dances they have been taught in the past four months – they coped really well with all the ‘split floors’ and as usual, were warm, friendly and just great company!

Our improvers and intermediates are becoming a very competent group of dancers, who are happy to ‘go with the flow’ and let me decide what to dance and when! Thank you for all coming along last night and helping the party go with a swing!

Well, I think that’s it for now – Oak Lodge returns on January 5th, and Westergate returns on January 7th!

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and I wish you all a peaceful and Happy New Year too.
