Here are some!!
About Me
- Banks School of Scottish Dancing
- Sydney, NSW, Australia
- My name is Justine and I began dancing when I was 3 years old with Carolyn Woollett in Sydney. 18 years later she successfully put me through my examiners (SDAA) and judges exams. In 1988, when I was 16, I travelled to Scotland to compete on the Games Circuit and at the world championships. It was the most amazing experience of my life. Two things stand out; placing sixth in the Jig at Stonehaven games (there were 18 in the section and at least 8 world champions there as well!) and standing on the stage at Cowal for the Worlds. In 1995 I moved to Scotland to live there for 12 months. While in Scotland, I worked as a school teacher and took dancing lessons from Anna Bain and Sheila McKay. It was a wonderful time. I returned to Australia in 1996, married my college sweetheart Mark and set up my own dancing school, 'Banksies'. Fourteen years later we are still going strong! I currently have approximately 20 students whose ages range from two years to adults in my 'wifeys' class. I run both competitive and recreation classes. Highland Dancing is more than just a hobby; it is a part of my life and I love it!

How adorable!!! It's funny how the little ones get good pics ~ you see things from their perspective and they manage to capture things sometimes that we don't.
Happy New Year Jus and thanks for your lovely messages and words of support throughout 2008.
