I woke up early last Saturday morning in anticipation of attending the day's workshop scheduled to start at 9am.
The workshop: G.R.A.C.E (Geriatric Research And Continuing Education) conducted by Rosie Multari.
The venue: One World Hotel (or at least that WAS the initial venue until it was changed at the last minute without any form of notification to the people who turned up at the hotel hmmmrph!)
Fortunately for me, I met another line dancer, Captain Poon who was just as surprised as I was about the change. Fortunate, because he was kind enough to give me a lift and together we headed to D'Taipan Dance Studio in Kota Damansara.
As a result of the last minute change, we arrived about 1/2 an hour late at the new venue (I hate being late! especially when I had made an effort to be early). The workshop was already underway but Rosie was very kind to receive us and gave us a quick summary of what the group had covered before we came so that we could follow from there on in.
I must say I enjoyed the session with Rosie. From the way she presented the information and how easily examples were given, it shows the vast experience she has had in the field. By the way, these are her credentials as listed in the Dancing For The Dream website (US):

Rosie, if you're reading this, I wish to say a BIG Thank You for sharing so much valuable information with us. I know you have much more to share but so little time in which to share it.
I also enjoyed the informal way in which the workshop was conducted. Some of us even sat on the floor (which is a very acceptable malaysian way) to make ourselves more comfy while soaking in everything Rosie had to say. The entire session was very relaxed, open and friendly.
