Yvonne Wright

I had my first ballroom dancing class at the age of 11 and more than 60 years later I am still dancing having run my own dancing school for 30 years. But I also enjoy knitting and crochet, writing - both factual and fiction, reading and puzzling.

I am happily married to Chris; we have been together for 39 years.

I have two daughters, five grandchildren and one great grandchild.

You can now listen to my podcast 'Dancing Through the Decades'. Chapter one covers the impact of the film Rock Around the Clock and the hit song the Twist, on youth culture; riots in the cinemas, new dance crazes, new fashion styles and 'the generation gap'. Chapter two is all about sequence dancing; what it is, how it developed and its positive impact on people's mental and physical health. Chapter 3 will by out shortly and focuses on ballroom dancing. you can find the podcasts on Spotify. Happy listening!
