An inspirational granny from Buckie isn’t blaming it on the boogie after dancing to a massive charity donation.
Dot Bremner, 77, visits ball groups and sheltered housing across Moray as part of her mission to get pensioners active.
Despite being virtually deaf and partially sighted, the dance enthusiast makes up routines to be done with music.
Yesterday at Elgin Town Hall, this Scottish polka Dot had over 100 pensioners pretending to be cowboys while they did the Locomotion and clapping their hands to the Queen classic We Will Rock You.
Routines devised by Mrs Bremner, which can be done sitting down, include the couch potato Highland Fling, the canny Can-Can and the cheating Charleston.
She said: “I just love to dance. I’ve been dancing since I was two years old. I’ll never stop. The fun of it keeps me going. I just have to look around and see all the laughing and happy faces.
“We were doing a Japanese dance earlier and were bowing, but it all went wrong. Sometimes the hilarity is the best bit.
“The routines just come to me and I get inspiration from a lot of places. I try and incorporate a little bit of a lot of dances.”
At the Spring Ball yesterday, the grandmother-of-three presented the Teddy Bear Developmental Play Group in Buckie with £2275.
During a lifetime of dancing, Mrs Bremner has tried her hand at dances from all across the globe, including ballroom, Latin American and disco.
Not content with just teaching dance moves, she went back to college two years ago to qualify as a fitness instructor.
She added: “I was the oldest in the class by about 30 years. But they were great with me.
“I just want to try and keep people active and get them up on their feet. We just sit about far too much. I believe in keeping moving, especially the over-60s.”
The money raised by Mrs Bremner will be used by the play group for a sensory garden.
