What people are saying
We have been given the all-clear under certain rules by the doctors.
We just wanted to let you know we are intending to dance [this Saturday].
It's been a hard week and it's been very frustrating not being able to dance and join everyone else in the ballroom.
That’s [what happened with] the break; it made us miss each other even more.
