The British Open Professional Rising Star Latin was as always an exiting and energised competition with performances of the very highest quality.
One can see the judges clearly looking from one end of the floor to the other to view these great dancers and to hopefully find that one moment that helps them make that all important decision, but seeing how close this competition was, it was never going to be an easy task.
All of the couples were driving their dancing from the very first round, with so much attention to technical detail and musical awareness and it was all delivered with such an air of partnering skills. The ladies really appeared to be in full control and the use of hands feet and legs was simply exquisite.
Dances were so well illustrated through mouthwatering characterisation and role portrayal.
This has been an event that without doubt sets the scene for the coming week.
Here we have the final placings together with the positions in each dance.
