Kate_N Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I've just seen the news (via Annette Nicholson on FaceBook) of the death of the wonderful RB/BRB dancer, Jane Rosier. I never saw Jane dance professionally, but I had the privilege of being taught by her in her wonderful classes for adults at DanceXchange in Birmingham. It's 6 years since I lived in Birmingham, and one of the things I miss are the wonderful classes at DanceXchange. Jane's Saturday morning class (early - 8:45am!) was always full of such energy and joy, and her inspirational advice and teaching (and her jokes). She paid us aging adult dancers the supreme compliment of setting classes that she would teach proper professionals. I shall always remember her smile, her huge jump - even with those amazing beautiful long legs, her frilly dance skirt, her humour - her love and joy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridiem Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 In that case I did see her dance professionally, with great pleasure - I didn't realise this was her. Very sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate_N Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thank you for adding that. I only knew her after she had married & retired from performing. I've been thinking about her ever since I heard - that such a light goes out, just like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
