Never hurts to say 'Thanks'

Think is very close relative to Thank! When you think of the choices we have these days, we have every reason to thank somebody.

Recently, I have been thinking about thanking those first dancers who dared to overcome the huge first time jitters they must have had creating a new dance. Can you imagine doing a presentation on a brand new dance to a cave full of your peers. But, if they did not overcome the difficulties and survived the jokes and maybe sticks and stones and hard words, if they didn't persevere, if they didn't pass on the skills... well, you see where I am going.

So a big thank-you to all the pioneers and the happy punters who kept them in food and clothes and bongo drums so that today we can enjoy some of the finest partner dances ever!

Because they took their turn, we now have our turn to pass it on!

When you think, you gotta Thank.

You Gotta Laugh

It is the amongst healthiest things you can do to enjoy a good life and stay free from stress and disease. Yet we do so rarely enjoy a good belly laugh. Visiting the Comedy Store should be well up there with pushing your body through a gym workout. A good honest laugh is medicinal is you feel down, physically and emotionally, and a first rate stand-up comedian could realistically be regarded a therapist and save the NHS or any health provider a packet.

We all laugh at different things too, but we all do laugh. So why don't we? Age, gender, body type, it hardly matters. We could all do with regular belly laughs.

Scientists have researched it and so the evidence exists these days in text books what our natural instincts and experience have told us since the first primitive joke. Now, we can say all the same things about another natural human activity we all may enjoy, dancing.

You gotta laugh... you gotta dance!
