Story

So, my dancing career starts here.....this year I will be representing Gap and for some unlucky person they need to teach me how to dance!!

I've been informed by my two boys I have mastered the art form that is Dad dancing so this shouldn't be too different.... right ?!?!

For 8 weeks I will have to train twice a week with a dance partner and then perform a Latin dance and a Ballroom dance in two live shows in front of 300+ people each night... HELP!

Why me.... Gap supports several charities throughout the year and following a visit from the charity explaining what they do, as a company we knew we could help and contribute.

On behalf of Gap I arranged a visit to see first-hand the help this amazing charity offers families when they need it most. There were certain aspects of the visit I found hard especially having two young children myself. It made me really appreciate what I have and put the mundane things into perspective and any thoughts of humiliating and embarrassing myself soon disappeared and the application was submitted.

Andy " Snake Hips "  Brookes   NEEDS YOU!! 

If everyone could please like, share or even donate to this great charity I would be so grateful and may keep me going when the nerves and doubts start creeping in...… more than they already are !!

Thank you !!
