I must admit, I do indulge sometimes and pretend to have the physique of a dancer (which I probably did when I was 6). I even went so far as appearing on the school stage (4 years ago) with a group of teachers. I was the lead in Cheryl Cole's "Fight For This Love". I sang and danced my heart out and had so much fun. I only got away with it because I was the School Director and no one dared to laugh or make derogatory comments :):) Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674648154579013578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74882821337502001.post-69332401469588117842015-02-16T06:54:35.880-08:002015-02-16T06:54:35.880-08:00Billy Elliot is my all-time favourite film, and th...Billy Elliot is my all-time favourite film, and that opening sequence is great.

That's the one dance move I'd love to be able to drop into at a moments notice.
