About Lazy Boots

Lazy Boots Western Dancers are principally Stuart McGlary and Ann Helmore.  Both of us are qualified dance instructors with the D&G School of Western Dance.  We currently run one partner and 6 line dance classes per week, as well as organising 4 Western Dance Festivals and teaching at various other events each year.  But how did it all start?

In the late 1990s, we were running our own line dance classes in and around Corsham and Chippenham, Wiltshire and would occasionally meet at the monthly dance nights at Corsham Triple C.

In May 2000, we joined forces and started dancing as partners at the local Triple C Western Dance Club, rapidly becoming regular attendees at various C&W dance events in the South West, but still only teaching line dance at our classes.  The first foray into partner dance instruction was at the Double B Western Dance Festival in Trowbridge, Aug 2000, where we stood in at the last minute when the booked instructors were unable to attend.  From that event we picked up what was to be the first of a series of regular invitations to teach line and partner dances at the B&C Dance Ranch events run by Colin & Bernice Caddick at St Audries Bay and Bournemouth.  It was also at this point that Lazy Boots Western Dancers identity was born.

Further invitations to teach came in from a wide range of event organisers including Ann & Brian Bambury of Dance One and Coral & Ivan Burton from Montana Western Dancers.  By the end of 2002 we were teaching at about 5 or 6 events a year and attending about another 10.  Hardly a spare weekend!!  We had also embarked on our formal training with the D&G School of Western Dance under the expert guidance of Pim Humphrey and passed our Part 2 Line & Partner exams in Nov 2002.  It was around this time that Colin & Bernice Caddick announced that they were planning to retire in 2003 and asked if we would like to take over their existing festivals.  Since then we have continued to run the Halloween & Spring Fever Events at St Audries Bay, however, the Valentine festival has moved from Bournemouth to Aberavon and we have recently added a partner only festival, Christmas Crackers, to the program at Aberavon.

In mid 2005, we took over the instructor positions at the Triple C WDC in Corsham, our local partner dance class, when Richard & Ann Hexter decided that they wanted to retire from teaching.

Our Policy

We almost totally use Country & Western music for all of our teaching in classes etc, we do not follow all the disco, latin and techno trends.  Our accent is on having fun, and entertaining people.  We do not compete or aim to develop competition dancers.  We teach people to dance to enjoy themselves!!
