Court School Of Dancing

The Court School of Dancing, that brings back SO MANY happy memories. I joined it in January 1969 and went regularly up until April 1970 when I moved to South Ealing due to a new job in Alperton. Clive was the dance teacher, obviously gay, in the nicest possible way and a total extrovert. Jenny was his assistant dance teacher who I had previously known from Uxbridge Youth club. I went every Tuesday and Thursday and met some lovely new friends and boyfriends too. Can't remember all the names but there was a group of us, Mike Biggs, his brother and wife Gwen, Sue and David. I also met Robert Hughes, a trainee manager for Sainsbury's from Maclyneth, north wales who came there with three other trainee's. We dated on and off up until I moved. We learned Ballroom dancing to top twenty hits and also small dance routines, as a group, that Clive made up. Yes, it was a great way to meet other young people like us, especially if you were the shy type (not me :-))) ) and, as stated, only soft drinks/snacks so never any trouble. And it's obviously caught on again with all ages :- Strictly Come Dancing. Thank you Martin for reminding me of more happy memories of Uxbridge.
