    Woa...great minds think etc..We've been thinking that very same think for a while.... Future DERTs might well feature a 'VETS' class like athletics do. It would be grand having different criteria and slower, more considered performances showing skill and precision instead of the bash and clatter that some of the younger teams get up to! Watch this space or next year's at least.

    Scally Rapper would dearly love to attend DERT 2013 but current state of knees and shoulders mean we have to give it a miss. Are there many other 60's and 70's (I mean 1960-70) dancers out there who would prefer to dance in a "Senior" competition? We could muster an over 50's team and by next year an over 60's team. Any takers?
