PERSONAL PASSIONS: DANCE
The greatest passion of my life By Sonia Huggins Sonia Huggins is an educator who gave up her distinguished career one year ago this month as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. She is a regular contributor to SideOne. I have always loved to dance. I have always loved music. The two always went together for me. As a child who was born in Northern England, I wasn’t exposed to dance at all, but I loved to move. So, my mother found a ballet school close to London – or so she said. I only knew that we lived in Derby and we had to take a double-decker bus to my ballet classes and it was so exciting! Geography was not my strong suit as a five year old. Back in my day the only form of dance training available was ballet … didn’t matter to me ... the music was beautiful and the dance movements
