Personal recognition

[Lellipop]

I used to disco dance in a troup when younger and won lots of silverware in it I also played a lot of netball up until about 18.

I was an Irish dancer, competing right up untill I was 19 and I loved it and still do!!

I did Irish dancing for many years until my teacher quit as her husband developed alzheimers; I'd got as far as my 3rd gold bar with the IDTA. After that I tried my hand at Brazilian dancing but my teacher (who was from Ipanema!) developed knee problems & gave up teaching to conserve strength for her professional dancing...see the pattern! Anyway, I'm now morris dancing, and so far none of them has been struck down by my curse!

interesting thread....its like a 'getting to know you' thread lol

Well I used to play the piano...got to grade 5, played in the odd music festival (very embarrassing lol) then packed it in to become a rebelious teenager! if id stuck with it a bit longer id probably of been a qualified teacher by about 16 lol

Workwise i was assistant manager of a boarding kennels a couple of years back...always wanted to work with dogs..the aim was to work in a major rescue centre..I would of got there but circumstances at the time meant I moved..im happy where i live apart from being absolutely miles away from the major centres id aimed for i then started taking nails more seriously!

Sorry ive gone n given you more of a life story! lol :lol:

not atall, don't be sorry this is what it is all about. I think personal talent is something that can go without recognition and also this is a nice forum for geeks to find out what each other have in common.

Yay - another flute player! What sort of stuff do you play? Do you play in any bands/orchestras/etc? I used to play in an orchestra in Frome when I used to live in Trowbridge; I should really find something up here in Shrewsbury...

 

[annemac]

I played in the w-s-m youth orchestra when I was younger but now just play to keep up the practice. I play all sorts.

Going back many years I was a clarinet and saxophone player which I loved but sadly don't play now.

I have a business degree and a C&G in interior design.

I have also skated for many many years and although I say it myself I am quite good.

I also have an advanced qualification in balloon decorating for weddings - think balloon arches, bride and groom made from balloons, stuff like that.

Great thread

I used to make wedding jewellery, tiaras, necklaces, wedding cake toppers & vines professionally. I now do it as a hobby when I get the time! My work is usually intricate wirework stuff, takes ages & 99% of the time comes out nothing like I planned in my head but IMO looks amazing

I used to be a professional face painter!

Comes in handy now and again now, but not professionally anymore. I used to love it though!!

xxxxxxxx:hug:

Oh wow cool! How come don't you face paint professionally any more?

Clarinet and sax - nice! Both are instruments that Sonia wants to learn. I got her a clarinet for Christmas just under 3 years ago but alas she hasn't had much chance to play it yet... we'll have to see if there is someone local who could give her clarinet lessons...

I used to play oboe at school and started to play the piano about 5 years ago, only a couple of levels as I don't have time to practice nowadays. My daughter plays it everyday now to which my clients really enjoy

I used to sing lead in all the school musicals and sung a duet at the Royal Albert Hall with another school girlfriend when I was 15 ... I joined our Choral Society about 8 years ago and became Hon Secretary and on a fair few occasions sung solo during concerts, (what a buzz that gives you) but this is another hobby I have had to forgo over the last 12 months due to my work commitments.

I used to sing in a choir in Melksham too, many moons ago when I used to live in Trowbridge, and had fairly minor parts in school plays (we did a show one year where we sang a load of 1950s rock'n'roll songs and I managed to mess up all the dance moves)...
