00:00Today we did two incredible classes, cha-cha and salsa.

00:06The people were so happy, and this is what I love the most in my job, to share my love for dancing.

00:12I'm going to go home with the smile of the people that after the class, they want to be back.

00:17That's what you want, because obviously in the group class you never know the level of the people that are attending.

00:22But my job is to make everyone feeling so blessed that they want to learn new stuff,

00:28don't get bored, but mostly have fun.

00:32So we've travelled up from Cheshire, and we've come to this lovely place, the Crown Ballroom,

00:36to do the dance classes with Graziano.

00:39I'm not a dancer, it's something I've taken up because we started doing classes online,

00:43and we know how good he is as a teacher and everything.

00:45We love coming to Blackpool, going to the ballroom and everything, and this is a really nice venue.

00:51It's been lovely seeing lots of different people, and then watching the kids doing and enjoying themselves,

00:56and learning new steps, new challenge at my age.

00:59What I loved about this class is that we had all ages, different abilities, and we were just all included,

01:04and it was wonderful.

01:05We got technique, a lot of energy, a lot of smiles, and just a lot of joy really.
