Barbara & Brian Walker have been tutoring Line Dance Courses for the 50+ Age Group since March 2000. The dance classes are part of the physical activities programme organised by Newtownabbey Senior Citizens’ Forum.
In 2003 a four-week Taster Course in Middle Eastern Belly Dancing led to a full eight-week course, culminating in a public performance by twelve of the class members at the Forum’s 10th Anniversary Concert in the Courtyard Theatre, Ballyearl. The “Turkish Delights” proved to be a big hit with the audience and were the finale act of the show. The Line Dance Class were also represented at the concert by the “Hillbilly Hoedowners”.
Another four-week Taster Course in Hawaiian Hula Dancing took place earlier this year and, as added encouragement, Stars ‘n’ Stripes have taken a Hawaiian theme for their Party Night in September.
