I spent 3 days of Easter 2024 at Blackpool and loved every moment!
Not physically sadly but thanks to Dance TV Ltd I was transported to the iconic Winter Gardens and the very busy Empress Ballroom and the Conference Centre.
The WDCAL European Championships were magnificently presented by the DPA and Blackpool Entertainment Company Ltd, and thanks to modern technology we could be there and share the splendour and the excitement as it happened.
Every single couple had spent months preparing and training so very hard to be part of this great spectacle. I was glued to my laptop for all the events in the so elegant and beautiful Empress Ballroom and can honestly say I appreciated each and every couple that took to that fabulous dance floor as they became a part of our dance history. Every couple played an important part in making this a fabulous Championships.
Whilst nothing can beat the experience of being present at the event thanks to Dance TV Ltd I can still get "tingles" and share the experience - and what an experience. What I find special about the streaming is that a large percentage of the screening is from an elevated area and you get to see the entire competition arena and every couple on the floor. You can very clearly see the movement, the sweep, the swing, the "tick", the floor coverage, the poise of each couple and I love it. Yes you also sweep in for "close ups" and it is great. Being the old grumpy for a moment you also see very bad floor craft, how couples "cut" across that magnificent dance floor, and sadly sometimes and thank goodness not often rudeness. The screening records it all!
