Line Dancing in BM
Jennifer Choo Sue Chin | July 13, 2008Janice and I are back in BM for the weekend. We took this opportunity to meet up with our ex-math-teacher, Jean Yeoh, who is actively teaching and promoting line dance in Penang and China.
We went to SY One Stop Fitness Centre in BM where Jean teaches line dancing. As she was teaching when we arrived, we gate-crashed into her class 🙂 It was an ultra beginner class and Jean was teaching the dances for the coming PISA line dance Carnival (23 Nov 2008). The dances taught were “Cucu – Winnie Yu”, “Cha Cha Queen – BM Leong” and “Oh Suzannah – Bill Larson & Chris Watson”. As Janice and I haven’t learn these dances, we were glad to have gate-crashed!
After class, we chatted and caught up on old times. Jean still look the way she was when she was in her forties (when she taught me Add Math in school). She said some of my ex-teachers from CBM like Mrs Yeoh BW and Miss Ooi CH is also dancing with her. Hearing that, I realised how much I missed them! I also reminded Jean that I read her a poem during her Retirement Gathering. Janice and I also told her how “the only school that has dancing period in the timetable” made us got to know each other in gym, and we have Jean to thank for that. She was the one who taught us folk dancing in school, besides promoting rhythmic gymnastics in my school.
I was so excited to meet Jean again, I forgot to take photos with her!
Next time I come back to BM, I know where to go for dancing 🙂
