Strictly Ballroom . . . Orchard Style!

On Friday 20^th September, together with the other Houses, the Orchard Boys stepped out in style.  They were taken to Queen Anne’s Girls School in Reading to participate in Ballroom Dancing Classes.  This is an annual event which ends in a Black Tie Ball and Ballroom Dancing competition against the Oratory school in Woodcote.

Tom Banks kept up with the pace,  despite being surprised by the speed of the Jive.  

James Sloman is a born leader on the dance floor, if ever I saw one.

Ruaridh Sheppard’s snake hips was a sight for sore eyes.

Will Janes what a smooth operator. William Simpson silent but with a deadly swerve, a sight to behold.

And the new additions to the House, Henry Waller and Harry Wiggins glided through it all effortlessly.

Harry Chapples, just so cool, took it all in his stride.

George Lawley's beautifully postured look, almost a pro.
Charles Marsden and Jonnie Graham suave and sophisticated  

And finally, Harrison Balchin and Adib Wain kept bringing it all together.

Poor Matron was just exhausted but a great time was had by all. Well done!
