A dance to celebrate the 18th anniversary of the London Gay Gordons. The group was founded in October 2005 by Daniel Capron and John Tyler who was our first teacher. Gay Gordons groups were subsequently established in Manchester and Edinburgh.
The GGs group is represented, in lower case, by two opposing “g” shapes in bars 9–16 (these could also be considered as two "9"s). Bars 17–24 are a reminder of the pink triangles once used as a gay symbol. Bars 25–26 and 27–32 are the digits 18 which is currently the voting age in the UK. The Bellringer recording was regularly used by John Tyler in his classes.
