Centenary Blackpool Grand Finals

Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th November 2004

Sponsored by Dancesport International (DSI)

The Tower Ballroom in Blackpool once again played host to the ISTD Grand Finals. With 2004 marking the Centenary of the Society this special weekend was a memorable one for all concerned.

We hope the photographs you see here do justice to what was a wonderful event, in which dancing of the highest standard from ISTD schools across the UK took place in the magnificent Tower Ballroom.

The Centenary Grand Finals Adjudicators were: Betty Bouston, Julie Earnshaw, Samantha Harris, Pat Woor, Robert Grover, Michael Stylianos, Norman White, Jill Bush, Barbara Grover, Lorna Lee, Joan Field, Robert Aldred, Jack Briggs and Alan Grassby.

The smooth running of the weekend was thanks to the following team: Peggy Spencer MBE, Anne Lingard, Margaret Connon, Richard Hunt, Nicky Miles, Dawn Hunt, Phyllis Miles, Rachel Wadey, Pat Mitchell, Mavis Mitchell, Estelle Grassby, Gwen Grovesnor and Paul Fielding.

One of the highlights of the weekend is always the Grand Dance, compared by Nicky Miles. Those who attended were in for a special treat as they witnessed the world debut of Christopher Hawkins and Justyna Kozinska. It was a sight to behold!

We would like to thank our sponsors Dancesport International for their continued support and Grassby Trophies for donating such wonderful trophies.

Join us for the 2005 Blackpool Grand Finals at The Tower, Blackpool, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th November and experience the magic only Blackpool can offer!

Further details will appear here and in the next issue of dance.
