Go go go! Or get a private lesson first to give you some confidence. Us dance teachers don't bite and we're used to people being nervous!

HUN is this a collective stone or 1 stone each??

I have lost eight stone since the New Year & I have another two to go to get to my personal goal. (Size 10 hopefully).
On that auspicious day I am going & signing up for latin dance lessons & dragging hubby along too. I should be there by Jan 1st; my dietaversary .
PS. I can't wait to learn to samba.

WOW!! How brilliant!

*bows down in awe*

When i work out how to send a pm I will!!

Flipping heck,that's amazing!Well done.And I thought I'D found will power!.....

That's a good idea - I might do that. The humiliation wouldn't be so bad with only 1 person there

Thanks Fiona, you know what made me do it? I was sticking up for Fern Brittain on this very site. A "flamer" had been saying very cruel things about her size & that she should not be allowed on telly. Of course he/she then layed into me, (I mentioned I was big too).
I was so upset & did not come on the site for ages but I blow a big raspberry at that person . Cos I am now a size 12/14 - & a nice person too, (unlike them).
PS. & I'll be a good dancer in a year, (I'm hoping I'll look like Jill ).

Peach what region do you work in?Maybe we should all come to you and get a 'strictly one off' introduction to get us started!!

Ooh, theres an idea! I can travel!

The North-East I wouldn't frighten you all? hehe


Also here is a list of schools registered with the IDTA. Not all teachers/schools are listed so if there aren't any in your area give the main office a call and they'll give you contact details for teachers in your area.

Thanks peach.One day I'll pluck up the bravery...You sound nice and kind gentle,and encouraging with your pupils not scary at all!

That is b****** brilliant. It has taken me 5 months to lose 2 stone (yes it is a stone each Ian's fan! ))

I totally understand what spurred you on and could say more about the situation and why I identify with it, but won't tonight! I may get myself in trouble!

Well done.

*claps*

OMG - theres a studio here about 5 streets away from me!

Thanks Peach!

My friend had a better week last week than me weight loss wise.She texted me to tell me she'd lost just over 7lbs.She gave birth to a baby boy last sat night!!

You spurred me on to go and search!There's someone teaching in my town in the road behind where I saw my knee consultant.Spooky!!

I forecast lots more dancing forumites

Wish I'd known about you and seen how much fun dancing could be when I was at uni in Durham

I have just made a pact with myself that I will join when I have lost another stone - hopefully sometime in the new year, then when I go on my next cruise in July, I can join in all the dancing competions on board!

...and I meant to say, I'm trying to lose some weight and could use all the encouragement I can get, so count me in!

I weigh in every Sunday when I go for my early morning swin - I know, I'm crazy, but just thinking about Marks salsa and paso had me thrashing through the water like a mad thing! Anyway, I lost another 2 this morning!

I think SCD is helping me lose weight, because I am on here instead of eating rubbish!

*laughs*

If it works, it works...

I teach the Durham University Students Ballroom!!!!! We have over 500 this year! It's amazing!!! (..and have done some Musical Theatre workshops for Instep too).

Get yourself back to Durham! hehe

That's wonderful!!!!

*whispers* If you start dancing now the weight will come off faster

I know - but I don't feel comfortable - but I am swimming three times a week, so hopefully I will get toned enough soon!
