Whilst I will never be perfect I am having a go!
I had another 3hour dance practice session last night ahead of my 24hr dance marathon on 10th-11th November for DiabetesUK.
We recorded the dances and numbers and were surprised when we found out we had done 48 dances in total over the 3 hours with a steady mix of Waltz, Fox Trot, Tango, Rumba, Salsa and Cha Cha Cha, it will be interesting to see how many are danced over the full 24hrs.
