My favourite memories
- Joining in my 2nd or 3rd year of university.
- Maureen Shargey, our indomitable teacher, a live wire of wonderful energy. She was so awesome.
- All the fantastic dances we learned including Walz, Viennese Walz, Foxtrot, Quick Step, Rock n Roll, Jive, Cha Cha and Lambada (dirty dancing).
- Doing some private lessons with Maureen and two lovely fellow students ( whose names I can't remember).
- Learning rock n roll throws where we had to throw up our partner and then bring her down onto the knee. "Bend from the knees" Maureen said!
- The wonderful socials that we had where we got to practice our steps.
- The Viennese Ball that was held in the main hall of UCT. I went to two balls; the first with the girl I did lessons with (a medical student who I was so attracted to!). And the second with Ally.
- Meeting Moira and going with her to a dance at Robben Island.
- Dancing with a girl in a sexy cat suit at a social and then discovering she was Rayburn's girlfriend!
- Nicola taking up ballroom dancing and becoming extremely good at it.
- After UCT, taking up Ceroc dancing, taught by Amanda and Johnathon.
