Muriel Chaplin Muriel Chaplin was a dance teacher who ran her own eponymous school and was asked to provide ballroom dancing lessons at the Community Centre in June 1973 . She arrived for her first lesson to find that the large hall had not been cleared of chairs . Flamboyant in speech and determined in nature , she remonstrated with assistant caretaker Albert Tatlock but predictably got nowhere at all with her complaints , especially when she stated that it was such a " menial task " . She was initially disappointed when the first turnout was only Hilda Ogden , Ted Loftus and Ernie Bishop , who was waiting for Betty Turpin to join him . Deirdre Hunt pushed Ray Langton to also go along and he made sarcastic comments as Muriel likened holding a partner ' s waist to gently holding a bird in your hand . Perhaps as an act of revenge , perhaps because she fancied him , she then used Ray as her first partner in a demonstration dance and proceeded to throw him round the floor . Prior to the next lesson , Ernie checked with her that she wouldn ' t be using French chalk on the floor as Albert had already objected to the idea . This time round , she told her pupils that she would be concentrating on the waltz before some of her invited pupils from her school would be giving a demonstration of championship ballroom dancing . The street residents were asked to introduce themselves to the guests and a Latin American medley was then danced by Joyce and Dennis . Muriel told the admiring residents that Dennis ' s workmates at the fishmarket had derided him two years before about his new hobby but they recently all went on a coach to cheer him on at the East Cheshire championships .
