Teddy has begun taking his first dance class at
Rambert dance studio. It is still a toddler-friendly dance environment, with parents participating as well as children ages 2-3. Teddy has loved the classes and it has been fun to see his sense of movement develop.
Dance is a skill Teddy has possibly inherited from his grandmothers, Nancy Daly and Wendy Cull.
Nancy (Nonnie) remembers taking dance classes from around 5-years-old until 11. "
In the picture with the yellow ensemble, I look around age 6, the photo was probably taken in 1949. In the photos with the blue and gold outfits I look like I was probably 8-10 years old, so these would have been taken in 1951-52."
Wendy (Nana) attended
Goldsmith's College in London to study Dance and Movement. She remembers using the Laban Movement Analysis technique, to undertake a special study of the Art of Movement of Iyengar Yoga in 1971.

doing the Lion pose may well amuse Teddy!" |
We hope that dance and movement will be something Teddy enjoys for his entire life. Rose has been a yoga practitioner for around 15 years and she has combined her practice with competitive rowing, Irish and African Dance and Pilates.
Dan feels he could have been a great dancer, if society had only allowed him the chance. He is determined to let Teddy know that '
you can dance if you want to'
