We were delighted to dance at the 46th annual British National Championships, competing against the top couples from all over the country, which takes place over three days.
The atmosphere was electric as we stepped out onto the Blackpool Winter Gardens floor for the first time as professionals.
It was an incredible experience to dance to the live sounds of the Empress Orchestra, in front of a wonderful audience who cheered us on from start to finish.
Thank you to DSI TV for live streaming these championships, allowing our families, friends and students to watch from home.
We are looking forward to returning to Blackpool in two weeks – this time to compete at the WDC World Professional Latin Championships.
