I think all that jolly stuff prancing around in gardens like a fairy ( hand out the magic mushrooms)was a hang over from the hippie era linked in with earthy goddessy stuff...SHRUG...each to their own.

I think there has been a weather change ( well, cling film will never replace a good vest

)and I for one was more than content with the Foundation course but then mine was run by Northeners

We were surrounded by leafy glades but all dolled up in workaday practise wear, working hard ...no time for mushroom picking, I'm afraid.

Aha, but that's where you're wrong!! The theme for the party night was Woodland Çreatures, and one gal wore a vest and grass stained knickers and called herself 'shagged in the woods". Again, I have the photos. Where's that Sun website......

It's not at all clear what the point of it is, if I wasn't into belly dance I think I'd have been a bit bemused. It's fun getting out the tape years later because I can spot so many more people I recognise now, mostly the ones who went on to become much better dancers than Madam Josephine. Jo's face when Lucy told her she was too fat is a perfect study in suppressed fury.

Look what I just found! The blonde is the lovely Margaret Krause. When I first saw this on TV I recognised my own teacher just by a fleeting shot of her bum

Ooooh, the blonde lady is really pretty, quite stunning on that clip. I hope I look pretty and young when I'm older.

I should do, all my family do

My mum still gets chatted up by ma mates

Men! I'm 19 and she's 42.

Anyways, I dunt like the whole clique thing. I once went to a class and it was awful. There was a group of students who wouldn't talk to those that weren't as good dancers. I only went to one class cause I was scared to go back, lol. I dint know where to stand or what to say cause there was a big divide in the room. I do think that there is more unity in the North in terms of passing on information about other dancers more freely and more co-operation. Perhaps that is because we don't really have a clique thing yet though....
