We have wanted to learn proper ballroom (and maybe latin) dancing, particularly spurred on by Strictly Come Dancing. So Jacqueline arranged for us to have our first lesson in ballroom dancing this evening, from dance teacher John at Castlemilk Community Centre.

We’re starting with the waltz, and learnt the box step, change step and natural turn, and tried to put them all together. Needless to say, Jacqueline suffered a few bruised toes. It was very tiring but we were really pleased with our progress.

We have some practice to do before our next lesson!
