Interview with Dance Coach Pete


How long have you been dancing?

About 1 year

What made you start dancing?

My partner Nick had been going for about 2 years and encouraged me to give it a try. I went once and have never looked back since!

How long have you been a Dance Riviera Dance Coach?

About 6 months

What made you want to be a Dance Coach?

I wanted to give something back to the beginners in terms of confidence and fun in dancing. I enjoy encouraging the new people.

What makes Dance Riviera different?

The unbelievable friendliness of everybody. You are not made to feel that there are good or bad dancers - we are all just dancers with different levels of experience. You can dance with people that have been dancing for years or someone who has come for the very first time and everyone just enjoys themselves.

What's your day job?

Landscape gardner

Any other comments?

Just want to say that I'm really grateful to Tracy, Nicky and Jim for having somewhere like this that people can go to, have a great time and learn to dance as well!

Yes I totally agree Sarah, Pete's day job may be in the garden but the evening job is much more interesting - especially when we just had the 'M&S' tie left on on the coach from Herne Bay!

Everybody - if you want some fun join the coaches on the coach to the next Herne Bay special!
