Hello, you two nice people
Just got back from taking the classes at the Croydon Branch W/E.
The three best dances were Chasing......, Tae Fife and Back, and the 
Indian River S'pey.   Had to encore Chasing..... and that was after 
11.30 this morning after they were just about danced out!
Smashing. 
Happy Dancing
Cheers  :)
