UK Dance Open Festival 2025✨

This UK Championship of 2025 had a different touch to it than in previous years. It's evolving annually into a spectacular event of the utmost quality. The meticulous planning of each intricate detail is undoubtedly enhancing the event's appeal more than ever! We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Short family for orchestrating such an outstanding dance celebration!

We extend our congratulations to the BDFI for a successful Monday Congress at BIC, featuring inspiring lectures and providing dance legends a platform to share their visions and life stories. Our thanks for an inspirational experience go to Domen & Natasha, Jason Gilkinson, and the amazing Michael & Vicky Barr.

The memorable performance of Ross Mitchell at the UK 2025 for the last time was epic to say the least. This farewell was filled with smiles and joy celebrating the epoch of so well known to many dancers of the famous Ross and his Band. We feel touched and privileged to witness and to dance to Ross’s last performance at the UK 2025.

Thursday night’s competition in the professional division was as strong as ever. It was evident that every single couple took their chance on that day to achieve new heights, so the commitment and energy on the floor were electrifying; to say it was a blast to go through such a tournament is an understatement! Needless to say, we feel most privileged and proud to win the

UK Open 2025.

We could achieve it all only with a great team, our beloved supporters, fans and of course, our sponsors !!!

But there were some very sad moments too…

The recent huge loss of a beloved iconic dancer, a friend, teacher and a mentor Andrew Sinkinson. Your sudden departure left us in a state of shock and speechless for all the wrong reasons….

It was truly not easy period of life for many our close friends and colleagues and for us personally .. The feelings were overwhelming and we all still don’t want to believe the truth of the reality ..

Yet you left the world of dance with a legacy of a lifetime worth for all to remember: the right principles, pure footwork, balance, listening to the music, being the music, excellence, harmony of partnering, exquisite passion for details, authenticity, meaning, and so much more.

You are gone, but never will be forgotten.

On a final note, we are sending our hugs and love to all our supporters and closest people around the world, as we are immensely proud and grateful to achieve another milestone in our career... that is to complete our first year of being undefeated and winning all major events.
