The Dance Review - Victoria Regan reports on the 35th Anniversary of the Emerald Ball


THE EMERALD BALL has it all!”

With an unmatched atmosphere on & off the floor, this description is used by all whom attended, including the prestigious panel of over 60 adjudicators.  As we say, “it starts at the top”, and Wayne and Donna Eng are the Organisers and at the helm of this event.  They have an amazing team that follow through with their vision for this 35th Anniversary.

 

The event began April 30th at 5pm and every other day from 7am-11pm …or later.  You may ask, “why is this the most highly rated independent competition?”  Here are some highlights which answer that question:

  • 1,750 competitors in 6 days

  • Over 14,400 entries

  • 300 Camp attendees

  • 60+ panel of Championship Adjudicators.



Special Details

  • Judges room:  24/7 : served snacks, coffee, tea, water and soft drinks.  

  • A Dance Sport Medical team led by Kim Correll taking care of sick or injured dancers throughout the week.

  • Special evening parties for Pro-Am competitors

  • Pro Rising star evening party

  • One Gucci purse: Top Female teacher.

  • 3 Unique Emerald Rings: Top Female teacher.​​​



The BEST OF THE BEST couples in Pro-Am and Professional were on this spacious floor. That is with the exception of a few that may have already been in London preparing for Blackpool.They were missed but the atmosphere and quality of the couples present made up for any lack thereof. And with over 14,000 entries, who is counting? Elegant, Energetic and Spectacular in every way.
