Who are we?

We are a husband and wife team, who have a long standing association with Ballroom and Latin American dancing. Having decided to turn our focus to teaching, we aim to cater for everyone from the absolute beginner or social dancer, through to those who may in time want to take it more seriously and maybe go through a recognised medal programme. We can also offer tuition for those who are already competing on the “Open” competition circuit, or those who may consider doing that in the future. We have a wealth of experience gained over a span of around 20 years, mostly spent around the competitive circuits. Over the years we have worked with many world renowned teachers and dancers, some of whom appear regularly on the “Strictly Come Dancing” show.

We are fortunate to be backed up by a skilled and dedicated team of helpers/student
teachers who also have a wealth experience to draw on. Despite their youth, some have represented Great Britain at various levels and danced all over the world, and are valued members of our team.

Gaynor

The real driving force!. Talked Wayne into
dancing…,and still has the bruised toes to prove it!. Competed with Wayne on the Senior Latin Circuit until time constraints curtailed their competitive careers, as
their 3 children (all by now dancing) started to rocket through the ranks, all representing Great Britain at various age groups, and competing all over the world. Now that the children are grown up, Wayne & Gaynor have decided to channel their experience and energy into teaching, and hopefully help others to get as much fun and enjoyment out of dancing as themselves. Favourite dance, Paso-Doble Other hobbies, dancing, dancing, dancing, and more dancing!
