Yvonne Wright attended a ballroom dancing class with her friend at the age of 11, where she became captivated with dance. Learning to dance led her to become a competitor where she later qualified as a ballroom dancing teacher which allowed her self-worth, self-confidence and social skills to grow.
This unique book gives readers an insight into how popular music since the 1960s has affected how we dance. It also explores how dance impacts positively on our physical health and mental well-being and includes quotes from social dancers running through the narrative. It has information about the various styles of dance and details of organisations who can help you find an appropriate dance class near you.
Dancing Through the Decades tells the fascinating story of how an extremely introverted, dyslexic, working-class girl with no self-esteem grew into a confident adult who not only ran her own dancing school for thirty years, but who also earned a Bachelor of Education, a Master of Business Administration and gained a National Professional Qualification for Headship. Yvonne became a confident public speaker who sat on a national advisory board for Special Educational Needs and is in the process of publishing a series of podcasts titled Dancing Through the Decade.
