Are you dancing? Yes, we're dancing!
03/06/2008
Following on from the editor's plea for places for older people to go for a bop, my wife and I have found rock n' roll! (although I did find it first time round). We go out nearly every weekend travelling up to 50 miles each way to have fun and meet lovely people of all ages. There is a venue in most towns across the country one night each week and at least 84 weekend dancing holidays a year - so who needs a gym?
Both couples and single people are all welcome as there is always someone to dance with, and we've made lots of good friends since discovering the scene about ten years ago.
There is a monthly publication called "Maggie's Blue Suede News" which lists all the UK venues and reviews the groups. It's at the website linked below.
Give it a try, Mature Times readers! We love it.
Phil and Pearl Gibbons, Chester
