Yes its good fun and great to see the kids out with oldies, like me. Good for us all. Great to see the kids having a laugh and Banjo getting on the floor and occasionally jiggling to the music. Ill keep prompting him to dance 🙂

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Thanks so much to Raul for his efforts and great moves

Thanks everyone for a great fun year. It’s been such a highlight of the kids (and our) week coming to dancing, and we really appreciate all your kindness, generosity and patience with Wren and Banjo. See you all next year!

Definitely want to second that! Thanks everyone for being so kind and lovely – thanks Tina for asking me to come along plus to Raul for his hard work and dedication; apologies I had to leave early too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! Please take care this festive season, drive safely and look after your loved ones and neighbours who need a hand. I look forward to seeing you all in 2025! 

With love, Max 🙂

Hello All:

 

It was a very hot evening but that does not stop us from having a great time! 

 

We almost had a full house, with 22 of us present at the party: Alison, Clancy, Dan, Banjo, Wren, Helen, James, Jayne, Kathy, Lou, Larrissa, Lisbeth, Marge, Max, Melva, Michael, Pam, Peg, Suzi, Teresa, Tina and Raul. 

 

The party started with lots of chatting and eating, there were many delicious dishes to share, thanks everyone! After that, I had a short formal presentation about our achievements of 2024. I’ve attached the presentation to this email.

 

Then we presented members of the group with tokens of appreciation for special contribution made to our group. A huge THANKS goes to:

• 2024 Dance Instructors: Clare – Maniac, Larrissa – Elvira, Peg – Cine Are Noroc Are, Sharon – Shivers; and Wren, Clancy, Dan and Banjo – The Pirate Dance
• 2024 Best Attendance (more than half the dance sessions and are not dance instructors): Michael (31 sessions), Alison (28 sessions), Suzi (28 sessions), James (24 sessions), Sue (23 sessions), Bev (18 sessions), Helen (17 sessions)

(Note: I have mugs for Clare, Sue, Bev and Helen at home – if I don’t see you in the holiday break, I’ll bring them to the 1st dance session in 2025)

 

After that, the dance started of course! We started with THE PIRATE DANCE to start, and we made Wren very proud of us! We also danced SHIVERS, CALM DOWN, MANIAC (FLASHDANCE), ELVIRA, CINE ARE NOROC ARE (BY NICOLAE GUTA), YOU SHOULD BE DANCING, WAKA-WAKA, PEARLY SHELLS.

 

That’s all for 2024! Enjoy the break and remember our first dance of 2025 will be on Monday 3rd March. 

 

Error! Filename not specified.

 

I have more pictures and videos, I will need a few days to process them and when ready I will send them out to the group (Larrissa: I will also send you the details where to upload your video too).

 

A huge THANKS to everyone in the group for a year full of fun and dancing! Look forward to another one in 2025. 

 

Hugs & kisses,

Raul Arregui
