us well it's my pleasure thank you very much so we're here today to get to know you a little better and would love to know how you started teaching line dancing what attracted early thirty's and then when she passed away the next year my grandmother said no way you're going to continue so here i am nineteen years later back to egypt but a different kind of teaching i had ballet tap acrobatics which was my specialty until i got married and have a family live where stage three with twenty there i picked up like pearl harbor enjoyed monthly dance and i have classes in franklin and norwood and plainville and plenty of the ones that have the dividends every month when i do well i know you mentioned teaching in new hampshire too oh yes i have a three day workshop with my old friend  read a sanford and she's the one that told me you're going to dance again i said no i'm not going to be and i'm through with dance and while it didn't work out so i started filling in for teachers but there's no teacher around now that i can use for myself and then i met joe and he helped me a lot to put all my songs on t v and use the computer all that today we come which i you know i have a good solid voice and i try to keep my feet far enough apart that you can understand where i'm going without calling the steps on time and that's why outside that i've noticed that and you know what everyone is doing it's amazing it's like how could she possibly keep track of you know how are all progressing as for dancing and you can help us like correct oh yes yes i've done that and some of the girls take it very very good and don't want to be shy away from sure well you're very sensitive you know to that degree i mean you really let people show you you know the level of skill they have i mean you have them come up oh yes i have quite a few girls that come up front right now and i walk away from the class and let them have a chance to give them a little confidence and know they can do it but don't shy away from it i drive it yeah yeah you really encourage people you know get up front because it is harder than you might imagine show you're up there and your brain goes blank oh yes those blank spots come when they come up in the class but a lot of them have broken through that already and if and when i have to retire they'll be somebody that will follow i hope after me i do too that's the one thing that i wonder about is why younger people are more aware how much fun line dancing you know as well i think it's today's growing up they have to take forty hours of all these things that they're trying to get in one day and i think that's why by the time it comes to have any social life fun we have  searching through see these that's a good point yeah that's a real like that's the old fashioned way it's a different kind of technology but it's as you say it's right at your fingertips you don't have to keep up you know find it people outside the home that they don't mean maybe necessarily have it at home i mean a lot of them a little i mean i'm fortunate enough to have a family lived next door but there are people like to dance but then other people like to do activities like skiing roller skating i mean it's all your preference of what you want to do minus me and think oh i agree totally until you're a dancer well i have you know taken classes before you know joining you and it's a whole different presentation i mean you're much more meticulous i like that about you i think we take it very seriously and you know it can be like trying to herd you know wild cats you know trying to get people on line dancing i mean it's not really an easy feat you know to get people to stay in a line and maintain that line
