On my return to England, I joined the ‘Bob Dale’ studio, for Latin classes in the city of Manchester my home town, where I had the pleasure and good fortune of dancing with the ‘Bob Dale’ formation team.
Marriage, business, & family were my main focus for the next few years, later moving to North Wales, I discovered line dancing, which was a sheer delight & has been for many years.
Maggie G weekends have been a great inspiration in my love of this wonderful pastime.
The variety of music & choreography is a big plus in my life, thank goodness I have a husband, who is totally supportive, (who does not dance) but loves the music & is very tolerant when forced by me to watch the latest dance I have choreographed.
Our son lives in Toronto, therefore, I spend a great deal of my time in that wonderful city, which allows me to be a member of two vibrant line dance clubs.
Now a relatively new retiree, I find myself devoting more time to my choreography.
Diane Blairs has choreographed 24 dances, of which none have been co-choreographed. Their first published stepsheet on CopperKnob is This Girl from March 2012, with their most recent stepsheet of Good On U in May 2020.
