Every Monday and Friday ballroom dancing is being taught in the hall at Aberdeen Primary School by Shelagh Miller Wood and Ray Holdt. This photograph shows how the children had all dressed in their dancing outfits for this lesson hoping that a photograph might be taken. These children involved are so enthusiastic and so motivated to the extent that all these children went to Beaufort West on Saturday 23rd August, where professional dancers gave lessons, tips and demonstrations.It is heart warming to see this type of interest shown in the young people of Aberdeen, Lotusville and Thembalesizwe by these two residents of Aberdeen. To encourage the youth in this small town to partake in after school activities could banish boredom, which automatically leads to problems. I sincerely hope the local school teachers, sports administrators and residents who have skills to offer the local children will take this encouraging example set by Shelagh and Ray.
