After last year’s event was cancelled due to COVID- 19 it was hard to describe the joy and excitement we felt at witnessing such wonderful dancing again in the Bournemouth International Centre.
With various prominent couples returning to the dance floor after some absence, the UK Open Championships in Bournemouth ended up being one of the most exciting events in recent years. Congratulations to Robin and Chris Short for organising such a striking and memorable championship with such an enthusiastic crowd.
