💙💙 WELL… WHAT A WEEKEND! 💙💙
THANK YOU to all you lovely dancers who joined us at The Midland Hotel in Bradford this weekend to support the Line Dance Foundation (LDF) and what a fabulous bunch you were! 👏💃🕺
We were lucky enough to have TWO LDF Ambassadors AND an LDF Trustee in the room! 🙌
⭐ Newly appointed LDF Ambassador and DJ extraordinaire Dave Baycroft⭐ LDF Trustee and human Duracell bunny Maggie Gallagher 😂�⭐ And one of the early LDF Ambassadors, your KingsHill rep Cathy Hodgson
Talking of wonderful… £200 RAISED IN THE RAFFLE! 🎉🎉🎉 now that deserves a few extra spins, shuffles and maybe even a badly executed kick or two! 😂👏
Then Saturday night happened… and OH MY! 💙💙💙 The dance floor became a SEA OF 50 SHADES OF… BLUE! 💙💙💙 Honestly, there was enough blue going on to make the ocean jealous! 🌊😂 including the tutu ladies Yorkshire Tart and Yorkshire Lass 😁 hopefully Yorkshire Pudding and Yorkshire Rose will join us next time ☺️
A huge shout-out to Mamma P Pauline Baycroft too, for all the hard work you do behind the scenes while Dave is DJing. We know it doesn’t just magically happen! 😉💙
And then we have Maggie… Honestly, where does she get her energy from?! 🤔 She’s like a Duracell bunny — she just keeps going, and going, and going… and GOING! 😂😂 Someone needs to hide her batteries! 🔋🤣
And Dave isn’t much better… DON’T tell him when it’s time to stop DJing, because he’ll happily carry on until breakfast! 🎧😂
Maggie treated us to a brilliant selection of Beginner, Improver and Intermediate dances during her workshops, so there was something for everyone. 💃🕺and one of my personal highlights had to be dancing MONY MONY with Maggie! Especially because Maggie originally taught it at a “Chance to Dance” event in Harrogate way back in the early 2000s…😳😳😳
Yep… the early 2000s! Some of us clearly haven’t aged a day… although our knees might have a different opinion! 😂😂
A massive thank you to EVERYONE who came along, danced, laughed, donated, bought raffle tickets, wore blue, supported the LDF and generally helped make the weekend such a brilliant one.
💙 YOU LOT ARE AMAZING! 💙
Here’s to more dancing, more fundraising, more laughter… and possibly a few more shades of blue! 😁💙💃🕺
