Over 120 cowboys, cowgirls and a couple of village idiots…er…what…cantered
into Jameson Hall for UCT Ballroom and Latin Dancing Society’s Beginners Social
– A Barn Dance! The dancing was run by the well-known barn dance caller, Caroline Blundell, who had us all dosey-doeing like pros!
With a heel and toe and away we go…and away we went indeed –
kicks here, promenades there and a few gallops everywhere. We were rock-tap-turning
and having an absolute blast!
Everyone dressed up for the occasion in their denims and
checks with boots and cowboy hats too (which were thrown into the air
accompanied by an enthusiastic “yeehaw!” at the end of each dance). The hall
was decorated to theme too, with plenty of hay bales, lassos, drapes and
flashing lights.
After spinning our partners around the room, it was great to
relax with a free bottle of vitaminwater – our Plaza Week sponsors whom we
would like to thank for their generous support.
The Barn Dance was a great start to the dancing year and we would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our beginners. We hope that you had a fantastic time at the social and that the time you spend with UCT Ballroom and Latin Dancing Society will be just as much fun – the dances you learn and the friends you make. Welcome!
