MENTIONED IN DISPATCHES
It's really good to know that other clubs and classes are doing my dances, and especially when it appears in a club's top 10 dances as printed in various magazines, reviewed on-line, or included in a teaching survey. This page will mention YOUR name or club as and when I hear about it...
Thank you for your votes, reviews and teaching my dances - it really means a lot to me.

Bill Ray of Hawaii says.... " I taught your dance "I Wish" to my intermediate class in Hilo, Hawaii, last Friday. The class loved it! I remember you saying something about the dance on an ILCW post a while back, so I looked it up on You Tube, liked how the dance looked, and decided to teach it. So, you are known in Hilo, Hawaii, USA. Long way from the Scottish Borders, huh? "- e-mail 24 Jan 2008
