Truly Unforgettable

When I was young(er), (many) years ago I grew up on a staple diet of dancing. Not because I used to dance myself - the closest I've ever been to dancing myself is on the disco floor and that's not dancing according to my mother - but because I used to be dragged to places far and wide by my parents to watch them take ballroom dancing classes. At that time it was enjoyable as putting needles in my eyes but I had to go and that was the end of it.

Well my two daughters have now taken after their grandmother - who is still dancing by the way - and it is now them who are dragging me all over the place to watch them dancing. Except this time I wouldn't call it 'dragging'. It is a real joy watching them, especially with that permanent smile etched on their faces.

Their latest outing was at the Truly Unforgettable dance show at Astra Theatre and my what a show. I took photos of the whole thing which was astounding and a great success. One photo that stood out was of the company director Natalie Sciortino and her dance partner Andrew Buhagiar. I am no expert, really, but they nailed it. The routine, the steps, the music and whatever else. Bang on! Even from the photo below you can see they know and love what they're doing.

If I hadn't been holding my anvil of a camera it would have certainly been a more enjoyable evening for me but I got some good shots of my girls and that makes the pain go away very quickly.

Note: There will be a repeat performance of Truly Unforgettable at the Astra Theater on 30 December 2010. For tickets please call 79200488. You will not be disappointed!
