Georgia also found it hard to decide on one moment only but came up with a little example after a few minutes of thinking about it:
She will never forget the moment in New York City after a bunch of Canadian and Australian dancers had just been introduced (everyone had come for the “Frankie 100 festival”) … and then the Shim Sham came on and everyone just went for it!

One dancing experience you'll never forget:
Kieran was the first one who told me about a sad moment he’ll never forget. One of his friends had passed away and as part of the guard of honour he was dancing to a sad song as the family had asked for that.
But that wasn’t the only moment. There are just so many: “Dancing around the world, dancing in NYC and Harlem!” He said something quite beautiful then: “It’s about the little moments with your partner on the dancefloor. That could be anywhere, even on an empty dance floor… “
What makes your class a good class to come to?
"What makes our class good? I honestly don't know what to say. Perhaps this is one for our students? Georgia usually has a nice head scarf in and my shoes have often been complimented... perhaps that?"
