ONLY yesterday, the Evening Press was extolling the health benefits of dance in our new Impressions section.

For one York line dancer that article must have rung especially true: her passion for the art saved her from paralysis.

Without the muscle strength Jane Wilson had built up through line dancing she would have lost the use of her legs.

Now she is using dance as a crucial part of her rehabilitation.

For most participants in this impressively popular pastime, line dancing is a fun way to keep fit.

For Jane, it has proved a lifeline.
