You&#8217;ll all agree she picked up perfectly on the energy of the dancers and instruments details. Can you recognise the dances? There is a mazurka, bourr\u00e9e, scottish and an dro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But sadly, Miranda passed away in June 2024 at the end of a slow decline from that terrible illness, motor neurone disease. She had lost her speech very early on but thankfully she could continue to type and communicated through a special phone app and never lost her sense of humour. She died very peacefully, surrounded by her family.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-09-at-15.44.34-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2259\" style=\"width:460px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-09-at-15.44.34-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-09-at-15.44.34-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-09-at-15.44.34-768x576.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-09-at-15.44.34-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-09-at-15.44.34-507x380.jpeg 507w, http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-09-at-15.44.34.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is NO CURE for MND, and a lot of funding is needed to support the research to find one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this years festival, there will be a donations cafe with all proceeds donated to the MND association for Miranda and all the other victims of the cruel disease, please donate what you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when you wear your Panards tee-shirt please remember the amazing woman who created our logo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mndassociation.org\/get-involved\/donations\">www.mndassociation.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MNDA-logo_0.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2257\" style=\"width:421px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MNDA-logo_0.png 550w, http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MNDA-logo_0-300x202.png 300w, http:\/\/frenchdanceleeds.co.uk\/public_html\/panards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MNDA-logo_0-360x242.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You will all be familiar with our fabulous logo but you may not know the artist who created it as she was not a dancer or musician.
