Court School of Dancing, Station Road, Wigan. 1960's
Stan and Barbara taught me to dance about 1960. I am almost sure I have still got my certificates.
I have still got my certificate, it’s for junior two dance test of the ballroom branch, I think it would be for the waltz/quickstep. My favourite dance was always the quickstep. The certificate is dated 6th September 1960 which made me 12 years old. My favourite dance partner was David who was there with his friend. Happy days.
I was a regular there in the 60's, good times,great atmosphere and great dancing.Got all my gold medals there. Thank you Stan and Barbara!81x1y
Hiya Dave, a coincidence or what? After our conflab on messenger t'other day, I asked my missus Sue did she remember you and she said straight away yes from seeing you at dancing lessons with your dad. Her maiden name was Yates. She said she was forced to go to dance classes by her parents! I've just come across this photo and showed it to her. Straight away she said Stan and Barbara. Sue isn't on the photo by the way.
A really lovely photo, how happy everyone looks.
Yes I remember Stans dancing classes in Northwich opposite the bus station . It was the highlight of my week for a few years .
Does anyone remember doing The Madison ? It was a line dance and everyone joined in.
