I remember you Shirley, I went to your Mum's dancing class between 1952 and 1955. We had wonderful costumes made for the concerts and I still have one of them. I particularly remember being on stage at The Hipperdrome in Oxford Street. I was very shy and tended to be the last on stage and the first off! Nevertheless, I enjoyed every minute, we danced to "Singin' in the Rain", "Wonderful Copenhagen", "Deadwood Stage" and many others.
