PHIL HOLDING & DEBORAH TRUMAN

Phil & DebbieWe are sad to announce that Phil Holding has had to take a break from competitive dancing due to personal reasons.  Phil and Debbie have been England’s top Senior I Ballroom couple.

They won the British Nationals and UK Closed last year and have won all their ranking comps since last July.  They were placed 8th at the International Championships in 2009 and 7th at the British Open last month.
