lluv2Dance. Richardson was writting about the Blues when he wrote." I seem to remember he was close up in the Professional section ". The reason I know and can remember is I was having lessons with Wally Fryer at the time when a battle between he and Alex Moore errupted. At one stage it came to a near punch up.Wally wrote an article in the Dance News as a reply about something that had been said and added that the gentleman in question had never won a ballroom dancing event.

Dont think Wally was big enough !!!!!!!!

Terence. Yes Wally was very light. Vi Barnes his wife and partner was the shortest women I ever danced with. Walley gets little praise for his contribution to dancing. He did introduce the Scatter Chasses in the Quickstep. But mainly he was the first, and at that time the only one, who said the lady must be more to the man's right side. Everybody now sets their poise that way and of course the Scatter Chasses are still with us. Both thanks to Wally Fryer.
