U.K International Dance Championships

Being a luxury dance shoe designer I often have the fortunate privilege to travel the world and meet dance people from many different countries and backgrounds and across many different dance genres.  Last month was no exception, when the opportunity arose to watch our friends compete in the UK International Championships at Bournemouth, BIC. During our trip to Bournemouth we stayed at the cottages of the Marriott Hotel overlooking the English Channel, the UK version of the French Riviera.

Thankfully it wasn't all work and we did have the opportunity to mix business with pleasure. Hampshire and Dorset is very close to my heart as I spent a large portion of my childhood and early teenage years in this part of England. I relived the old times and took a trip down memory lane, revisiting the breathtaking coast line which I hadn't seen in years and forgot how beautiful it was.

We had great weather, the sun was shining but with a crispness in the air, which I suppose isn't unusual for this time of year. In the evenings we met and dined with dance friends and watched the spectacular performances at the Bournemouth BIC as dancers competed for the UK International Dance Championships.

When dancers step onto the floor to perform it takes my breathe away. What seems easy is anything but it. Having worked with dancers to design and perfect what we believe is now the best dance shoe range in the market I appreciate the constant dedication, commitment and hard work that is required to perfect this art form. We all chose different paths in life, some dancers were born to dance, with other dancers entering the dance world through circumstances and to escape the limitations life has imposed on them. None the less whatever the reasons if a dancer wishes to excel and develop this talent it requires constant hard work, commitment and the proper dance footwear.
