Dance, Laughter & Keeping it Fit

Laughter is good for health and great for the soul.

My occasional pictures, thoughts and quotes about dancing, stretching and keeping healthy—written from the Breton Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, of which I am the Honorary Secretary.

This blog is a supplement to the monthly Dancing Hippos Newsletter. Hippos dance too, but only in my hilarious newsletter.

Janet McCrorie's pictures illustrate so perfectly the joys of dance! This one is called BIRLIN' BLUE ...... turning fast with your partner, in time to the music: fusing movement with motion with music.
