Shirley Ballas Instagram – The United Kingdom Open to the World Dance Festival 2024 🔥 … one of the most fair and trusted events of all time. How extraordinary it has been to witness two outstanding days of phenomenal dancing here at the BIC centre in Bournemouth. I was honoured to be able to judge the United Kingdom Open to the World Amateur Latin American Championships. The standard of dancing was absolutely off the chart. The very best the world has to offer with couples entering from every part of the globe. Blood sweat and tears has gone into every step they take. The stakes are high and both days were filled with glorious talent, a huge amount of passion and extreme competitiveness. Thank you to @robinshort1 @ritann10 and son Christopher for organising one of the most prestigious events in our calendar. Congratulations to all who stepped on the floor and a huge well done to those who made the final six and got to walk down the famous blue stairs. Please take away the beautiful memories and treasure them forever. I’m so proud of each and every person who took part in these competitions and grateful to part of the World of ballroom dancing.
