Dance teacher who influenced many
Published on 5th April 2007 in Letters
Sir - I cannot let the passing of the legendary Terry Brooks go unmentioned. He was a true inspiration to so very many young people in Goole and surrounding areas as a superb dance teacher.
He was renowned for his absolute dedication - no nonsense - in his pursuit of creating excellent dancers who earned major credits and awards at national dance competitions and examinations. He certainly provided Goole with these in abundance in the form of girls and boys and mums and dads.
As a mother of former pupils it was a real pleasure to witness his teaching and attend the awards ceremonies at The Brassa.
Terry (and Maureen) certainly influenced the lives of many and I am sure he will always be remembered greatly.
