Not the Laban Centre, by any chance?

Umm, no idea what you're talking about, so no, I guess not. :-}

Famous dance school in London. http://www.trinitylaban.ac.uk/Laban

Ah. NO, we didn't run a famous dance school, we ran a little dance
school
in a church hall in Liverpool. :-}

And all those inspire children and young adults to go on and dance in
adult life, either professionally or for exercise and enjoyment. Some of
my grandchildren now go to a school my children and all their & my first
and second cousins go to/went to. It's still run by a highly respected
doyenne in her 80s. I thought of the Laban because you live not far from
London now!

We have some very good Dance Studios here on the Isle of Wight and the
standard is very high. I have been asked for the last couple of years to be
a Steward at the Isle of Wight Music and Dance Festival. A week long event
covering all sorts of Music, Prose and Dance at venues all over the Isle of
Wight. I have been involved in the Dance side because it was held at
Shanklin Theatre where I am the Membership Secretary of the Friends of
Shanklin Theatre http://www.friendsofshanklintheatre.org.uk/ and asked to
take on the roll of Acting Treasurer at the last Committee Meeting. The
standard of Dance was very high and the devotion by those competing, and the
support their Mothers gave, (I was able to have a chat with many of the
Mums) was second to none.

I hope to be asked again next year and support the devotion.

Which raises another point. Why is it that great coverage is given to the
'Yobbo/Hoody Youth' but very little to those who join in and attend so many
activities such as Guides, Cadets, Dance competitions etc etc etc? My
Grandson is an example of devotion to a 'hobby'. He spends hours and hours
with The Medina Marching Band http://www.mmband.org.uk/. He is the little
one at the front in the Corps of Drums. Needless to say he wants to go into
the Marines in the Corp of Drums.
