Just for you Ben! The incomparable Fred.

 

I was ballet trained but enjoyed other forms of dance. Once, in a show, we did a scene from Thoroughly Modern Millie.  I sang the title song then we did the Charleston. Half way through,  my shoe came off and hit someone in the front row!  Wouldn't have dared stop so carried on with one shoe!  We all fell about laughing when we got off stage!

Always loved Dancing.......My Aunts always got me Dancing with them at Grandparents whilst they played their 50s records on the Radiogram........Then at school soon found out you were popular...when you went to friday lunchtime dance club....

  Into my teen years it was Locarno 14-16 year olds tuesday nights  at 1/6,,,Danced with girls from all over Nottingham,,used to go with a gang of us from Old Bestwood.....None of us were shy of asking for a dance as we got on the floor tripping over Handbags..

                                             Getting in the Mens powder room was an experience as well,,,admiring  us selves in the full length mirrors,,Italian suit,,collar turned up and hair combed like Billy(the one and only) Fury,,,splash of Old Spice and a shoe shine from the old fella,,gave him a 'Tanner' ,,remember him?.........If you got a date with a nice girl we'd take em to the Bodega on a sunday night for some great slow Dancing,,,or if no date,, still the Bodega,, to find one......Working for Marsdens it was never difficult getting dates,,,especially if you travelled round em all......:rolleyes:.....For the next many years i travelled the country working and Dancing from Birmingham  to  Bradford and beyond....the only time i get a Dance now is on my Spanish holidays,,,when i love to dance the night away.....when this Covid disappears so will i...........Viva Espana'''
