Deepest darkest Kent, been dancing since I was 14.
My former teacher suggested certain moves to try when pregnant, as certain movements rock baby to sleep and others can help to speed up labour. Definitely a dance to let mother nature take over rather than trying to conform to a certain shape, size etc (can you guess by that, it was a weight issue that led to my stopping ballet). Have 2 prolapsed discs, my Dr said that gentle exercise can help, dancing has def strengthened the muscles around my spine.
Blimey lots of similarities between us, December Brides (was yours last year too?), dodgy backs, dancey people.
We didn't get snow here until later in December (was the day after we went on honeymoon so we missed it)
