RE: Over 700 schoolchildren dance in Glasgow

I think I must agree with you, and I am sure that the 100+ dancers that
attended the RSCDS Spring Fling in Newcastle-upon-Tyne on Saturday
evening would agree too.  Especially as at least 70% were under 35 years
with the majority of those in their teens and twenties.  My only regret
was being on the wrong side of the music all evening when I could have
been dancing with my own age group for a change.  Some of those who
attended the whole weekend will be able to testify that even I was
enthused to attend a full morning of dance classes for the first time in
almost a decade!  So they must be doing something right.

And, of course, just because the attendees are being taught to dance
'properly' does not mean that they can not add their own extra little
flourishes to the dancing.  As Malcolm Brown and Deb Lees can no doubt
testify :-)

Kind regards,
Phill Jones (who, as I am sure several more are too, is still recovering
from very little sleep this weekend...)
