[blockquote style=”style3″ cite=”Charlie Roberts”]Having the chance to compete in Blackpool, England with the ballroom company was an experience I will never forget. I remember every detail from rehearsing in the Spanish Hall to performing for the world’s most talented and influential dancers. Every moment seemed electrifying as we performed, and not only because we had LED lights. It felt like the crowd went wild at every change of formation. Taking that final bow with world renowned professional dancers on their feet yelling and applauding our performance, was one of the few events I will forever cherish.[/blockquote]
