The Magnificent Tea Dance , The Magnificent Spiegeltent, Old Market Square Nottingham - 7th October 2017
The venue was terrific. Not so great having to go outside to toilets, especially as it was raining, I am 90 years old and walk with a stick! The Tea Dance band where very good and the singer Vicky brought the music even more to life. The teachers of dance moves made the learning fun and "no pressure". Shame it was not a bit more attended as I would have liked a few more dance partners to choose from! May be wider advertising next time, circulating to elders/ community meetings around the county/local area?

What a great idea: set up a large tent in the middle of market square and run a whole range of activities, including an afternoon tea dance complete with scones, cream, jam and... a live band! Jim and Sue coached, cajoled and encouraged us all through some simple dances and the band with singer who had a suitably Vera Lynnesque presence played foxtrots, waltzes, jives, cha chas. We had a lovely couple of hours and cannot wait to repeat the experience next time the spieltent is in town. It would help if the start and end time advertised was stuck to though. Thank you!!!
