๐ฅ๐The 47th Annual British National Championships 2022 ๐๐ฅ
So happy to have been in Blackpool over the weekend to compete at this wonderful festival!
It was amazing to see both Soloists and All Girls couples competing on Sunday for the very first time at this festival, so much thought had gone into the organisation and the little touches which mean so much to the dancers did not go unnoticed โค๏ธ A wonderful addition to this prestigious event, I'm sure moving forwards this will be well supported by all ๐
Thank you to the festival organisers, adjudicators and officials for another wonderful Blackpool experience, we are truly grateful ๐
