RoseHadi Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Does anyone remember the Marjorie Clowes School of Dancing on Attercliffe in the 1950's. I was a pupil ther and I remember every year we would put on a performance at the Sheffield City Hall, along with all the other dance schools. Does anyone remember this?

RoseHadi Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi there jackbee, I remember the 42nd street but can't seem to remember the sailor performance. I can't remember a lot of the names but I seem to remember Pat Richarfdson, AnneTaylor and the boy named Malcolm, I seem to remember that there were only 2 boys in the class. Does your wife remember Rose Murphy and also does she remember the tambourine gypsy dance? I attended classes from around 1957-1962, I left at around 11 years of age.

HORSESHOE Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yes I went to margery clowes dancing school around 1954 in Attercliffe. I remember dancing on he city hall in the forces show. We were the last act I was an airman and Miss Clowes husband made a paper mache aeroplane. My friends were Pamela Hopkinson, Christine Gambles and I have a photograph taken with a girl called Barbara Newton it top hat and sequined waistcoat. I think Margery came from Wodhouse her husband had a garage. Her mother always played the piano for us and we did shows ie the gypsy dance, the maypole and I was an irish coleen.

Derek Clayton Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I don,t remember this place, but I do remember Alfred Gold's school of dancing overlooking the peace gardens. Used to go there on Friday nights in 1959/1960, had a great time and met many nice girls, could,nt dance very good in those days however. Alfie was a bit effeminate ( Gay ) though in those days being gay meant being happy. Lots of very happy memories of Sheffield, left England in 1972, now live in Melbourne Australia.
