Our Secretary Lucy gives us the lowdown on the
September workshop …
I have two very left feet and am born with the
clumsy gene, so I was much happier being the spectator of arguably our most
active workshop to date. The lovely (and very energetic!) Al from
www.lindyfridays.com taught
us the basic steps for a solo
Charleston, so no partners were needed and no toes had to be stepped on!
Al first of all demonstrated a very
scarily fast dance and impressed us all, but helpfully broke the very complex-looking
dance into easy to remember chunks of movement including such moves as
"the mess around" and "the itchy".
By the end of the workshop everyone
could perform two solid minutes of Charleston with instantly recognisable moves
- impressive!
Who needs partners when we can dance
this well solo!
