Featured Performers:
Ian Sharpe & Victoria Lawrence, Ballroom Dancers

Ian and Victoria compete at the highest level in Ballroom and Latin American dancing. They are in England's top ten ranked dance couples.

They have danced together for fifteen years, working with top teachers to hone their technique and performance to compete at international level. The Ballroom and Latin American style of dancing are completely different in discipline and technique, mastering both disciplines has given them the confidence to develop a more emotive content to the more conventional style of dance.

They regularly represent England at International competitions in Austria, Germany, Malta, USA and Canada etc, gaining final placings in world ranking Ballroom and Latin American Competitions.

Recent achievements include winning the West Of Ireland Amateur Ballroom & Latin American Championships, The Isle of Man Championship Titles as well as being nine times Sussex Ballroom Champions and five times Greater London Championship Title holders.

The success of their competitive dancing has put them in the spotlight; they now give shows, demonstrations and cabarets. Recently they have provided cabarets for the Lord Major of London at Mansion House, a Venetian Masked ball, Live Big Band spectaculars and numerous other top events. Music and choreography can be chosen to match the occasion. In addition they have been involved in film and television productions, from feature films to adverts and quiz programmes.

In How Music Works, Ian and Victoria dance the waltz to Strauss' Roses from the South.
