Blackpool Festival first round times now online

Crystal Clover's new store in Cheam opened on May 5th, and offers an extensive range of fabrics  and accessories as well as exclusive collections of dancewear.  The new store is located on Ewell Rd, four shops away from Dance Options and within walking distance from Cheam railway station.

TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR THOSE SELECTED TO REPRESENT ENGLAND
We are delighted to announce that we have worked with our insurance providers to ensure all those whom we select to represent England will have fully comprehensive travel insurance which covers competing, when they travel to the Europeans/Worlds.  Many standard travel insurance policies will not cover competitive sports and activities, so we are investigating the possibility of extending this offer to all EADA members who compete internationally. 
 

Results from Junior Blackpool 2010 - congratulations to all who took part and special mention to Luke Miller & Hanna Cresswell-Melstrom who won the Under 12/13 Ballroom & latin events.
First Round Times for Junior Blackpool are online.

EADA AT MOVE IT

Thanks to those couples who performed on behalf of EADA at Move it (the UK's largest dance exhibition) in London's Olympia: Lloyd Perry & Rebecca Scott; AJ Pritchard & Chloe Hewitt; Mark & Olga Elsbury and Richard Still & Morgan Hemphill.  There was a greater Ballroom & Latin presence at this years event and we are grateful to all those couples who took part in helping to promote dancesport.

There appears to be some confusion over competitions on 14th March.  The 2 Richards are not holding a competition on this date.
