UK is the Home of Ballroom Dancing. No other sporting activity has been so successful in winning championships for Britain as that of competitive dancing. On July 9, 1992 Her Majesty the Queen held a very special Garden Party to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her accession to the Throne. The Queen had invited all those sportsmen and sportswomen who during the 40 years of her reign won a World Championship for Britain. On that very special day no less than 55 British Ballroom Dance World Champions turned up at the Palace! Ironically our own media give Ballroom Dancing very little recognition and there is hardly any coverage of dance events in the TV So, we have this web site for you ... The team behind Dancesport UK
