CLASSIC dance moves will be resurrected this summer to celebrate the Queen's golden jubilee.
To complement other June events a royal tea dance is being staged in Stourport for more mature revellers who know their way around the dance floor. Jenny and Ray White and Brenda and Ken Bowkett ready for the jubilee tea dance.
It will be held on Thursday, June 6 so it does not clash with the jubilee weekend programme of celebrations and there will be gallons of Britain's national drink on sale to quench dancers' thirst.
"We'll do the old-fashioned dances, like the waltz, two step and tango, and there'll be prizes to people who dress up - in tuxedos and ball gowns," explained Jo Bowkett, civic hall duty manager in Stourport.
"Tea dances are usually quite low-key so we are trying to make this a little bit grander.
"David Floyd, a popular tea dance organist who's got a bit of a following, will bring his own keyboard so there will be live music. We're going to decorate the room and make it a bit special."
The event is being organised by Wyre Forest District Council at Stourport Civic Centre at 2pm and admission will be free.
