Only just realised after looking back on this thread that I had already asked about Rene, (losing my marbles!). Now I remember you Shirley, but I very much doubt you'll remember me. I can remember my first lesson because my mum had bought me a beautiful pair of tap shoes embroidered in silver, but I had wanted what everyone else had, red tap shoes,. I refused to get on the floor until your mum told me that I was really lucky to have such wonderful shoes and that they would surely have made me learn to dance very quickly.
I'm sorry she's no longer with us, but I for one have some lovely memories
