Canberra Weekend

Here we are again braving the winter chills in Canberra, 4 of us travelled on Friday, so we could do a bit of shopping before the Friday night social. 
The social was a night with requests, it was a lot of fun, with plenty of dances, the ones we didn't know gave us the opportunity to catch up with some old friends and also meet new friends.

 At Lunch time we had the workshop with Maddison Glover, she taught 6 dances, my head was spinning after 5 dances, so I watched the last dance which looked like a lot of fun.
The girls all ready for our big night out
The other 4 girls turned up whilst we were at the workshop and did a bit of shopping, then we all went back to the apartment for a rest and a nice drink, then it was time to dress for the big night.

Barry certainly knows how to have a great social, with entertainment, plenty of dancing and lots of laughs.
Barry's grandson did a great job singing a few songs for us, he is so young and has a great future. Maddison Glover did a solo number which blew everyone away, her feet were going a hundred miles an hour and danced with a lot of flare, just beautiful.
The girls having a great time, playing up for the camera
This shot of the girls shows that we also make our own fun. Thanks for a great weekend of dancing and fun Barry. Look forward to the next social.

Berry Demo in July

A Big thanks to all the girls that came along from different classes to entertain the residents at the Berry Bupa Nursing Home, we danced for about 1 hour and a few residents joined 
in to have a waltz or a jig on the dance floor.
The residents love the music, so it was lovely to see them smiling, singing and clapping along to their favourite songs.
