I met Anthony and Fay a short while ago. He was living here at that time. Then he moved to Tasmania. He gave a couple of seminars which I attended. We had a yarn about old times. Fay is as petite as ever and easy to rcognize. I was at a comp run by Sydney Winter in Harrow when Anthony and Len Armstrong just came out of the juniors. Just going from memory i'm pretty sure Josephine Bradley was one of the judges. How much does ballroom dancing owe her in particular the Foxtrot. I was at Guy Hayward's studio in Harrow when Joyce Hayward retired and Sonny Binik joined up with Sally Brock. Joyce retired when she was due to marry.

Please excuse this off-topic comment, but I would like to say how much I have enjoyed your exchanges. I have just begun classes at age 50 with my husband and the tango has been an interesting experience. Reading your comments place a wonderful light on the dance that, perhaps, we have not seen before. Thank you.

capy56. If you want a really good video on the Tango, the Waltz is on the same tape. Steven Hillier's Dance Basics is still available. If not from this site Quasar Video in the UK. have them. They are the same people responsible for bringing us Blackpool live on the inter- net. Best wishes.

Hi,
I found the stories by Tangotime and Serendipidy very interesting, especially when Tangotime said he was a former examiner for the now IDTA. He may find it interesting to know that two former IDTA examiners write to this board, namely; Kenneth Lee and Ken Akrill.

I did NOT say I was a examiner for the IDTA ( I am a Dual Fellow BR Latin/ Amer./ Smooth and Rhythm) My reference m was to the NADTA ( In the States ).

sorry for the confusion .

Capy56. Again I would strongly recommend Steven' s instruction on the Tango. For instance explaining what will happen if in a Promenade the toes are pointing straight down the floor instead of across. And also the lady turning the toe inwards on the first step of the Link.And the feeling of actually going back down the LOD on the second step. Its all there and easy to understand.. Good Luck.
