This Easter weekend , Friday 29th through till Sunday 31st March,
brought the best of Ballroom and Latin dancers from near and far to the
iconic Winter Gardens Blackpool for the highly anticipated World Dance
Council Amateur League European championships.
Once again a magnificent event organised by the amazing DPA in association with Blackpool Entertainment Company Ltd and one that will stand out as a highlight in the dancers calendar. Both the Empress Ballroom and the beautiful multimillion pound Conference and Exhibition
Centre were the arenas for what was to be an opportunity for dancers of
all ages, both solo and couples to partake in friendly competition to win
the honour of being crowned WDCAL European Champions in their
events. The music, whether it was recorded or live by the Empress
orchestra under the fabulous baton of Mr Ashley Frohlick, created an
atmosphere that certainly brought out the very best in all who danced,
therefore creating a spectacular visual for all those spectators who
crowded both venues to support pupils and loved ones who gave
everything in their performances.
I have to say that as a spectator, rather than a judge, I could enjoy every
second of this event and to all the couples from our little juveniles to
our seniors in both Ballroom and Latin events I must firstly
congratulate everyone of you on your turn out and you boundless
enthusiasm, which I appreciated greatly. Secondly to the parents,
coaches, costume makers, makeup and hair artistes you are
magnificent and deserve every praise imaginable for what you created
for our pleasure.
