It is pleasing
that after many years of sitting exams for the IDTA I am now a member of the
IDTA.
I attend various
clubs around West Sussex and I am very lucky to be accompanied to classes
and social events by my husband - Roy (who after much nagging by me) gained
his bronze medal - with honours - in couples dancing.
My Mum also used
to accompany me to some classes and to the social events, but sadly died in
February 2007. She enjoyed the company of many dancers and was known to many
as "Mum Jean". This was a very hard time for me as four days after she died
Roy went into hospital for major heart surgery. Without the world of line
dancing and the good friends it provides, I do not know how I would have
survived.
