Could we win the International Title?
The morning of a major championships! And this one I am no stranger to, having competed there since a very young age…it’s October the weather has changed to a colder feel and that always means the season of the International Championships at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The sheer grandeur of this immense building itself is enough to set precedence to the level of dance you are expected to deliver – so no pressure then! No matter how much you love dance it is safe to say the greater the prestige of the event the greater the pressure to raise your game and any real dancer will thrive for that pressure …especially me!
