Hopping Mad? 20 Years Ago, I Said YES!
On 14 October 2006, I said YES… to ME!
I made the big decision to leave school teaching behind and take a leap into the unknown, following my passion for music and dance.
Andy and I organised a little Lindy Jazz launch. We thought perhaps 20 people might turn up.
80 people came!
I was completely overwhelmed! We even had to turn people away, including some who have since become very good friends!
You don't know what you don't know, and I certainly had no idea what lay ahead.
Twenty years later, I'm looking back on an extraordinary journey filled with dancing, laughter, challenges, friendships and so many wonderful memories.
Would I do it all again? Absolutely!
I'm so glad I said YES, and incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of our Lindy Jazz journey.
Now I'd love to hear from you!
When did you first discover Lindy Jazz? Were you there in the early days? What's your favourite memory?
Do share your stories in the comments. I'd love to reminisce with you!
