Show Notes
We noticed one of our local dancers, Stuart, dancing lots of different styles during a freestyle and we thought we'd find out about his history - we didn't realise it was going to include salsa, modern jive, ballroom sequence, bachata, cha-cha-cha and waltz! And wait till you hear about his line model aircraft flying!
