On With The Dance


Wydale Hall has been home for the last few days. Dancing with a group of 24 lovely people.  Lilly Sell and Rose Cross were leading the weekend.  We had circle dancing morning and evening, In between there were walks, Qigong, Indian head massage and plenty of good food.
What more is there to say.  Definitely feeling like The Duchess of Dance-a-lot.

From Wydale, I went to Newcastle for 2 nights in a rather average airbnb.  But the one day of dancing with Nawal and Dee was very enjoyable.  About 28 of us danced in an excellent octagonal hall with plenty of space.   The dances were all traditional from around Turkey, and the teachers told us some of the history of the peoples and places of that area. Interesting to know that the founding religion of Turkey was Shamanism.
Off on the train to Wales tomorrow.  I hope all this sunshine follows me there.

I enjoyed their sense of humour at Newcastle train station where it was free to spend a penny, unlike some places where inflation means you now spend up to 40p for the privilege.
