Sue: It’s a lovely group of inclusive, non-judgemental women who enjoy a good laugh and having fun, while at the same time getting exercise.
Zoë: We’re lucky to have brilliant musicians.
Bernadette: Two of my great uncles danced with the Ilmington side before WW1. I feel very proud to be carrying on the tradition.
Tish: Focussing on the dances cures headaches and helps to dissipate the troubles of the day.
Dawn: I love the camaraderie when we dance out. If a dance goes well, there’s a real sense of achievement. If it goes less well then we laugh and take note of what needs a bit more practice.
Amanda: : It’s so intergenerational. I love being part of an all-age group. With not a walking stick in sight.
Tish: The feeling of freedom obtained from dancing in the street.
Elizabeth: Everyone has been so supportive and I really enjoy both practices and dancing out.
Zoë: I like the way we are completely inclusive … I like coming home on a Monday night full of endorphins.
Tish: Meeting people from other sides.
