The British Dance Council’s decision to allow qualified professionals to be partnered by a non-qualified dancer over the age of 16 years at Inventive Dance Competitions under experimental rules has been successful and is therefore to be extended. For those involved in entering these competitions please remember that dances submitted should adhere to the Classical Sequence, Ballroom and Latin American techniques as standardised by organisations affiliated with the British Dance Council
