Dance Day UK here we come......

Okay as a decrepit 50 year old something, it is not often (if ever) my privilege to be surrounded by lovely young people who are lithesome, fun, creative and downright brilliant. It was my luck today to be a part of something really special; that is the shooting of the promo video that will launch Dance Day UK our major fundraising day on 1 June 2013. The concept was put together by Gillian Taylor several years ago, and is becoming a reality through the creative talent of Matt Flint who won So You Think You can Dance? and who is a great choreographer, and fab dancers. Not only that he is patient (a brilliant teacher) and very funny. We had a superb day courtesy of The Hospitality Club at 24 Endell Street, London who gave us the venue, the music, and lighting for free. Thanks so much guys. John Griffith, who has done the camera work, and is editing it all with Matts help, and Oz who had no idea what he was going to be involved in but was there with his camera taking fantastic shots. And to the fabulous people who turned up (who will be credited properly on our Dance Day UK page when that gets updated); Amy, Alice, Jordan, Rhea, Sharna, Helen and Jan..... And here is a shot of the venue - so very many thanks to Gail Jaffa, Sue Walter, and Dan Maxwell who made it all possible via John Higgin. A humungous thank you.
