Boogie on down

Betsan Powys | 11:57 UK time, Tuesday, 23 June 2009

A quickie between lobby briefings:

The dance company formerly known as Diversions is now known as National Dance Company Wales.

To celebrate this "dynamic new name" the company turned to dynamic Assembly Members to contribute to a new video which was on show as I left the Senedd last night - under the slogan "Dance is for the nation."

Kirsty Williams has got rhythm, Andrew Davies and Dafydd Ellis Thomas have plenty of oomph while Rhodri Morgan has got to watch he doesn't step backwards or he'll be off the parapet outside his fifth floor office. "Rhodri Morgan's timing was amazing!" enthused the lithe young dancer who'd taught him the moves. Not entirely sure his potential successors as holders of the office on the fifith floor would agree with her. Perhpas their dance is called "the straining at the bit".

But ... where was the Conservative mover and shaker? Do Tories not dance?

Nick Bourne was invited but had, he says, "a clashing engagement" - one he probably worked very hard to find.

No relation to then ...
