In March, I will be performing on this stage in West Wickham for an audience of OAPs. I’ve taken dance classes for most of my life, and will be dancing with a troupe of local friends, so that’s not too scary. But I’m also trying something new.
After singing in church and school choirs years ago, I joined a fun choir on an activity holiday in Greece. Since then, we’ve had six or seven reunions in Norfolk, and been coached in how to sing solo.
When my dance buddies discovered this, they encouraged me to perform a solo song in the show. Wish me luck! The skills I’m learning are transferable to my growing career as a professional speaker – and also a lot of fun.
