And Madam Miaow was an excellent MC....
After trying the fan and ribbon dance workshops (why weren't we allowed to run riot with swords.....)I am sticking to my day job!!
And what a prawn dancer she was (shame about the dodgy broken CD)
Thanks, Louise.
Thanks to the fan-dancing workshop we now know how to shake our tail-feathers. Wish I'd seen the ancient martial art of Papercutting display.
Shame the CD glitched just as the prawn dancer was about to get stir-fried.
But a high old time was had by all.
