The music was excellent as always from the great Pete "Sir Dance-A-Lot" and his fab wife June. All who came couldn't stop commenting on the wonderful large floor and amazing atmosphere for dancing.
There were three fabulous showcases on the night. Tom and Mary took on a very playful Swing routine and brought the house down with their mixture of technique, showmanship and comedic styling! Nice mustache Mary!!
Craig Gordon and Francis Yu stepped in for the unfortunately sick John who was supposed to perform a smooth style Foxtrot with Olga. However you would not have known it was a last minute addition from their performance of the American styled Viennese Waltz! Speed, rhythm, grace and elegance were shown throughout the basics and the spiral turns alike.
Finally our very own Craig and Lesley took the floor for their Waltz / Viennese Waltz hybrid dance to David Cooks version of the Michael Jackson classic "Billie Jean". The crowd went crazy from start to finish as they swung with style and power through a variety of International and American style figures including the incredibly difficult high speed rotation Fleckeral. The whole dance came to a stunning end as Craig eased Lesley on to his shoulder for some lift spins and a drop finish! One attendee commented it was the most beautiful dance she had ever had the privilege of seeing!
If this is anything to go by then our next open dance should be amazing......So come join us on February 12th at 7.30 pm for our Valentine Day Dance. You can even join in the fun by coming dressed in Red and White if you like!
Cant wait to see you all again soon!
The AMPBG Team ;)
