Little Supple -My romantic grandmother and world champion dancer. 

She taught me my first dance moves. She was a world champion dancer who was half North African . She developed a technique which involved her jumping onto a glass stage and dancing. She was much in demand from the music    halls  and theaters of her day and often had queues of fans out side her dressing room. She ran her own dance school, when my grandad walked in for lessons she instantly fell in love with him because he looked so much like her idol Fred Astair. They eventually became a dance duo till family life forced her to retire

If you are born to dance it can be hard to stop. My Dad told me a sad story about her. Apparently when she was around fourty she took all her costumes and posters into the garden and burnt them. I wish she would have realised that even though I had not been born yet,I would have been glad to have them.
