Blackpool holds a very special place in the hearts of ballroom dancers. There isn’t a World Champion or Strictly star who hasn’t Waltzed their way across the Empress Ballroom floor on their route to success.

In this article, I am going to share an insider view of a competitor, just in case you could be tempted to give competitive dancing a try yourself.
