This was a tremendous competition from the first round with an abundance of talent on display. What a delight for the dancers to compete in the beautiful Empress Ballroom in the Winter Gardens Blackpool, the home of British dancing. The audience were treated to a superb final with all dancers giving their all. The results were as follows:
1st Glenn -Richard Boyce & Caroly Janes
This couple continue to produce outstanding superior performances, commanding their position from the word go. A very elegant, polished and confident couple. Congratulations.
2nd Andrei Toader & Mia Linik-Holden
Another excellent performance. You have such simple choreography, executed beautifully, complimented by exciting changes and shapes. What a fantastic inspiration you are to our younger dancers. Very well done.
3rd Mark Chilcote & Maddison Ingoldsby
Challenging strongly and improving in maturity of swing and movement on each competition. Very energetic and dramatic tango with excellent use of head from Maddison . Be careful not to overdo things and lose the connection and your posture. I look forward to watching your continued progression.
4th Mykhailo Bokii and Ivanna Tymczyszyn
I have watched this couple improve their performance immensely. They have a great softness and ease of movement with great use of feet, which if you continue to develop will produce higher placings for you. Very musical, natural and unforced dancers.
5th Kyrylo Novikov & Tallulah Wilkinson
A very attractive looking couple who produced lovely swing and movement however I feel Kyrylo's right hand is too far to the right. This caused a little too much movement in the right elbow losing that look of power and stability in comparison to the higher placed couples. Work on this and I feel your challenge to them will be much stronger as your base technique is super.
6th Oliver Johnson & Sophie Heyworth
Another striking couple on the floor with a strong presence . Just try to relax more to allow the muscles to work correctly as although you start very strong, stamina seems to play a big part in your performance. Perhaps try to work more from the floor to create the beautiful shape you make and less through physical strength.
7th Leandro de Rossi and Chloe Barrett -Blake
Although finishing in this position your performance was very strong. You produce great movement and a super tango stillness . Keep working on developing the shapes. As a smallish couple you have to expand the volume but I really liked your use of feet. Well done.
