“I don’t think any of us realised but doing that dancing did a lot for us all, like mentally. It gave us a break from the norm and relentless lifestyles we lead. So thank you. I miss it and I never thought after week one I would say that, but as I dance around the kitchen. It has made me appreciate having some time out 🩷 so thank you.”
— Becky Smith, York dancer
“I just wanted to write to thank you very much for organising last night so efficiently. It was such a fun evening (once we got over our nerves) and everyone was brilliant. It is great to see how much money has been raised for a truly wonderful charity, and we were honoured to be a part of it all.”
– Jamie Snowden, Newbury dancer
“Where to start with the experience of Racing Comes Dancing. Signing up for it was all about raising money and stepping out of my comfort zone whilst being able to do/learn something with my wife. What it turned out to be was one of the best couple of months and we will sorely miss those Thursday night sessions. First off Joel, along with Debs, were amazing instructors, putting you at ease whilst giving great guidance. They could turn their hand to any couple and have them shimmying away like a strictly star. Second the group camaraderie is worth it alone. Everyone was there to support each other and friendships were made. That was not truer than on the night where every single person was willing the others to smash their performance”– Adam Ryan, York dancer
