I’ve never known what to do on the dancefloor and, at 56, thought it was too late to learn. Then I tried step-by-step tuition with Strictly’s Janette Manrara
We’re all programmed to dance, says Janette Manrara. “Babies can’t walk, they can’t talk, but put a song on and they start to wobble.” One of the first things she did, growing up in a Cuban family in Miami, was to stand on her dad’s feet when he danced salsa.
You’ll probably know Manrara from her role as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, and from presenting its companion show, It Takes Two. She’s the real deal, and she’s going to teach me how to dance.
