Some say infamous I say legendary. The legendary Gnosis Dance class deserves the reputation that it gets. It has attracted an ardent following of rhythm loving fans some of whom are aware that they have left and right feet but they are not claiming to be capable of putting them in the right order at the right time or to the right places. It is a fun dance gathering for all levels of ability to enjoy moving to music. After a Friday night partying in a huge castle involving elaborate costumes and a total disregard for the need of sleep the one thing guaranteed to rouse the weary revellers is a Gnosis Dance Class. The first spark to light the dance class tinder is the bright eyed and bushy eared Flopsy. His sparkly efforts are bright enough initiate the ballroom preparations and folklore states that, “If you clear the floor and crank up the sound system then they will come.” So we built the dance class scenario in the ballroom and the dancers came.
The Saturday dance class was so successful that the attendees of the class stepped to it to put on a display in the Sunday night Gnosis Variety Show. One spectator did say that the dance performance on Sunday was like watching dance bingo. Flopsy called out the singles and doubles from the front and the dancers marked their dance cards behind him. My score cards for the class and the performance were very high indeed with a great appreciation for the effort from all. Next year, if there is a next year maybe we could have a live internet feed with a scoring system for the viewers at home. No one should be voted off; maybe higher votes could lead to dancers stepping nearer to the front? Please send all suggestion for the dance class to the Gnosis Committee marked for the attentions of, “The Tango loving Flopsy.”
