British Champs Teaching At The Asturias
Mary and Barry.
Mary
Manock has been successfully running dancing classes with her husband
Barry for the past year in the Asturias Restaurant. However, Mary and
Barry are not just your normal teachers. This couple won the British
Senior Latin American Championship in 1985, and just about every other
competition going that year.
Mary was a late-comer to dancing. She did not start until the age
of 30 and then, it was almost by accident. Mary’s children started
going to dance classes, in Stockport, Manchester, where they lived.
After a few months her daughter said, “Mummy, there’s an old persons’
class.” It took Mary nine months to talk her husband into going to
dance classes and even then he only agreed because the next door
neighbours decided to go too. “It was the best thing we’ve ever done,”
says Mary. “My husband was hopeless at first, but we kept at it because
we enjoyed it. We had such a laugh.”
After about three years of attending lessons their teacher talked
them into entering a competition. Mary was 33 at the time. “We were too
nervous and didn’t make the next round, but we caught the bug.” After
that they started dancing five times a week, determined to improve.
They would go to private classes in Liverpool one evening a week and
practice all the other evenings whilst Mary’s aunties helped out a lot
with looking after the children. ”
When Mary and Barry started entering the competitions they went into
the beginners’ category. However after just six weeks they started
winning a lot and so were put in with the intermediates. They worked
their way up until in 1985, aged 39, they won everything in the UK.
They had gone from zero to champions in just nine years.
The competitions were long and hard work. “Sometimes you would be on
your feet for 12 hours. You would forget about the time though,
adrenaline would keep you going.” The dancing style was Ballroom and
Latin. Obviously the costumes had to be eye-catching and Mary used to
make her own outfits, but it was an expensive hobby. “My dresses would
cost up to 400 pounds a time. I would order sequins and sew them all on
by hand.”
Mary and Barry’s claim to fame is to have danced in the Albert Hall
of which Mary says; “it was like dancing in a well; everyone looking
down at you from up above.” The couple came fourth in the International
Senior Latin American Championship there. To participate as a senior
you have to be over 35.
When Mary and Barry got to the top they realised there was only one
way to go from there. So they took a step back and started teaching
other would-be dancers, and spending more time with their family. “Our
children had got to that age, as teenagers, when they needed us around
a bit more.”
Five years ago Mary and Barry moved to Spain, to Cabo Roig. People
in the area kept on asking them to start dancing classes, they
deliberated and starting looking for a venue before starting classes at
the Asturias Restaurant in Punta Prima 15 months ago. “We’re really
pleased. There’s a really good crowd.” Over fifty people came with
their dancing shoes! “They were mostly women, a few fellas were dragged
along too, but it is good exercise as much as anything.”
Living in Spain many of the learners go back to the UK a lot, so
Mary always runs a beginners class before the intermediate one for
anyone who’s feeling a bit rusty. She teaches cha cha, samba, rumba,
quick step, tango waltz and foxtrot, plus a few social dances, right
from the basics.
If anyone would like more information about the show or dance classes they can phone Mary on 966 760 043.
