I love my Chair Dancing! I really look forward to seeing our wonderful Jessica.
My friends ask "where do I go to do it" and I reply "I don’t even leave home. I sit in a comfortable chair in my lounge room and take a trip down memory lane, exercising to the old music of my youth." I loved dancing.
Thank you dear Jess for a very pleasant hour.
