Why is dancing important to you? - You and Yours - BBC Radio 4, 12.18-12.57, 21.09,21

[Bruce Wall]

Today is the weekly call-in session for BBC's You and Yours on BBC Radio 4.  It will run between 12.18 and 12.57.  Today's topic is 'Why is dancing important to you?'  I thought that perhaps some person from BcoF might like to speak to put forward our own/their valued cause.  I remember as a child Dame Sybil Thorndyke Casson telling me: 'Every audience member is the first and last character in every performance.'  You can dance with your eyes as much as with your ears and feet.  We, too, feed the performances.  It is, I think, a critical aspect.  

 

The BBC blurb reads:

 

'

 Tell us what dancing does for you; the pleasure you get from it; how you got into it and why it's important to you.
 

Email us about your enjoyment of dancing - youandyours@bbc.co.uk and don't forget to leave a phone number, so we can contact you. From 11.00am on Tuesday 21st September, you can call us direct on 03700 100 444. [Standard geographic rates apply]

Thanks Bruce.  I'm out this afternoon but I do hope people will contribute.

 

I'll move this to Doing Dance and leave a link here.

The programme had already started on the radio when I saw this thread - I'm more of a watcher than a dancer so didn't rush to butt in.  But it was a lively half hour or so, I must say.
