Ian & Victoria's Dancing History.

Victoria has been dancing since the age of 3, beginning with Ballet & Stage work, taking up Ballroom & Latin American at the age of 7. Ian took up dancing at a later age.
We began dancing together in 1991, and decided to try the open competition circuit. Since then we have worked through the grades, and now dance in the Amateur Championship grade.
