We reconnect with Vilhelmina and Alex following their triumph at the Blackpool Dance Festival to learn about their experiences this year and the inspiration behind her Chrisanne Clover Tropic Lime Ballroom Dress...

 

BDD701PP – Vilhelmina wore this striking tropic lime Ballroom dress adorned with 3 dimensional petals and embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours moonlight, electric yellow, crystal shimmer and metallic sunshine

 

How was this years experience for you both at the blackpool Dance Festival? We are absolutely thrilled to have made it to the final! It's our first time performing in the final of the Blackpool Dance Festival, and it felt truly incredible.   Please confirm your results? We placed 6th in the Professional Ballroom Rising Star

 

 

 

You wore a tropic lime dress – please tell me why you chose this colour and more about the design of your dress? We picked tropic lime knowing how vibrant it is and that the colour really pops, particularly on the floor in the Wintergardens, and it happens to be Alex’s favourite colour! I love the 3D flowers, they have become part of my dance fashion, but with this dress we tried something unique with the cutouts on the sides of the. bodice, which turned out fantastic.  

 

 

 

Any fond memories you can share with us that you had at the this event? This time, we shared a ‘day of a dancer’ on our Instagram stories, and our friends really enjoyed it as they could keep up with our day. We kicked things off in the morning by showcasing our breakfast, followed by the getting ready process with hair and makeup, warming up, and everything in between. Many of our friends and students from the USA, Sweden, China, Hong Kong, and beyond tuned in to the live stream and sent us a flurry of cheerful messages, making us feel incredibly supported, which was such a blast!

 

 

What are your plans now? Our goal is to continue enhancing our dancing skills in the USA. This summer season is quite intense, filled with numerous competitions that we will take part in. We eagerly anticipate returning to the prestigious Albert Hall in London in September for the International Dance Festival.

 

We look forward to seeing Vilhelmina and Alex back in the UK in October for the Internationals! Follow @vilhelminalavrov and @alex.lavrov_on Instagram for all their competition updates

 

Following her performance at the famous Blackpool Dance Festival in May with partner Eric, we reconnect with Anna to learn about the inspirations that led to her new Chrisanne Clover Ballroom dresses, which she showcased at the event…

 

Congratulations on your results at the Blackpool Dance Festival – how was this years’ experience for you both?   Last year was our first time competing in Professional Ballroom, which made it quite nerve-wracking. However, this year we truly relished our time dancing even more.     Please kindly confirm your results for each dance

BDD720PP: This electric pink Ballroom dress was made for the team match event, embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours light topaz, metallic sunshine and crystal shimmer

 

 

You had 3 new dresses made for the event – please share your inspirations and ideas behind each dress

 

We had a fantastic colour for the team match; the team leader proposed Electric Pink adorned with gold crystals. This colour combination is truly unique. Electric Pink and gold together really draws the eye. I'm extremely happy with how the designer positioned the crystals – the overall finish of my dress looked so sparkling and elegant.

 

 

BDD702PP: Anna wore this orange and cappuccino Ballroom dress in earlier rounds, embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours orange glow delite, light rose shimmer and tangerine.

 

The orange dress draws inspiration from my apple green dress that I wore for the Internationals last October. I adored that dress so much that I wanted a gown with a similar concept – a vibrant colour adorned with sparkling Swarovski crystals, expertly selected and arranged by the Chrisanne Clover team. The pink hue of the crystals complements the orange beautifully. I felt incredibly confident wearing it, and the orange just glowed and stood out so much under the dancefloor lights.

 

 

BDD697PP: For the final Anna wore this black and sugar pink Ballroom dress, adorned with feather fringe and embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours crystal AB, jet hematite and light rose.

 

For the finale, I wanted something that combines elegance with fashion. In my black and pink dress, I truly felt like a princess!      Did you have a favourite dress and why?

 

Without a doubt, my black and pink dress for the finale was stunning. It appeared even more beautiful than the initial design illustration and made me feel like a princess. I adore the crystal embellishments and the way the dress flows while dancing. Chrisanne Clover truly excels at capturing intricate details.

 

Anna showcases our NEW limited lace collection against her stunning couture collection, wearing left: Elizabeth top with the Isabelle Ballroom skirt. Right: Florence Ballroom dress

 

 

We had the new limited dancewear at the Blackpool Dance Festival stand. What were your favourite pieces from the new collection and why?

 

I wore the Harriet Top along with the Anya Trousers for the conference, and I truly appreciated the overall appearance! The Harriet top, in particular, caught my eye. It boasts a unique style – both fashionable and sophisticated at the same time. The lace detailing is incredibly alluring, which is also the reason I am fond of the Florence dress with its delicate lace back as well.

 

 

Anna wears the Daphne Ballroom Dress from the 2025 Chrisanne Clover Dancewear collection

 

Do you have a favourite dancewear piece from our other collections?

 

My current favourite is probably the Daphne Ballroom Dress from the Chrisanne Clover Dancewear 2025 collection that was launched in January. I love the georgette cape sleeves they make the perfect floats and creates lots of movement when dancing.

 

 

 

 

What are your plans now? I’m preparing for more competitions and looking forward to my next dress Chrisanne Clover will make for me for the Internationals in October!

 

We look forward to seeing Anna and Eric again in the UK in October for the Internationals!

After triumphing in the Professional Ballroom at The Worlds Blackpool, we reconnect with Irina to find out how her experience at Blackpool was…

 

How was this years experience for you both at the worlds Blackpool?

It was wonderful as ever; returning to the UK, the heart of the Ballroom world, always feels incredible, particularly when visiting such a legendary and historic place like The Blackpool Tower.

 

Bdd714pp Buttercream Irina’s finale buttercream dress was embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours light rose, sunshine delite and crystal shimmer.

 

You wore 3 stunning dresses, please tell me your favourite dress and the design inspirations behind it?

My favourite dress among the three is the buttercream one, although I adore all my Chrisanne Clover dresses.

 

The inspiration for this dress came from a trip to Paris we took in January for a two-day holiday, where we visited Balenciaga. I tried on one of their couture dresses and instantly fell in love with it. It was made of black velvet and featured a hip corset design. The price was astonishing, as you can imagine, so after sharing my thoughts with the designers about what I loved in that dress, they crafted a similar hip line for me. In my opinion, it looks even better than the Balenciaga dress on me.

 

Bdd715pp In earlier rounds Irina wore this black and cappuccino Ballroom dress embellished with Swarovski crystals and adorned with ostrich feather boas

 

 

What was it like dancing in the tower ballroom with its grand history?

The tower ballroom is incredibly stunning; when you gaze at the ceiling and the surroundings, it feels as if you’ve stepped into a fairy tale. It’s truly enchanting, especially in my buttercream dress, which made the experience feel exceptionally special. 

 

BDD671PP

For the team match, Irina wore this red lace Ballroom dress embellished with Swarovski crystals and adorned with ostrich feather boas

 

What are your plans now?

We have just returned from our brief holiday and are beginning to get ready for the Internationals. Naturally, we are looking at a very hectic summer ahead, filled with numerous events, shows, and travels to Asia.

 

 

We look forward to seeing Irina and Stanislav back in the UK in October for the Internationals!

Anna Zhou and Eric Li Cheng with Chrisanne Clover Managing Director Ronnie Li at the Blackpool Dance Festival

 

Where did you grow up? When did you start dancing?

 I grew up in China and started to learn Latin dancing at the age of 8. I wanted to discover the beauty of other dances and started to learn Ballroom dancing when I was 9 years old. Ballroom dancing has since become my love and passion

 

 What is your favourite dance?

 I much prefer the faster dances and I particularly love the Tango and Quickstep

 

What is your favourite competition?　

Cimen Open in China is my favourite one. It’s an annual comp in November, always with a grand venue and amazing judge panel.

 

Why are you proud to be a Chrisanne Clover sponsor?

My childhood dream is to wear a Chrisanne Clover dress, and it’s really a dream come true! CHRISANNE CLOVER is the best dancewear company in the world and has always been my most favourite company to go to for dancewear. The Couture dresses are truly outstanding and I am so thankful to be able to represent CHRISANNE CLOVER it is such an honour.

 

 

What is your favourite Chrisanne Clover colour?　

There are LOTS of colours to choose from, and it’s hard to pick a favourite but wearing my sugar pink shaded Ballroom dress at the Blackpool Dance Festival is probably my current favourite :)  Chrisanne Clover has always been the best in using colours. The making of their dresses and embellishment are amazing.

 

What is your favourite piece of Chrisanne Clover Dancewear?

It is very hard to pick one but I would probably say the Anya jumpsuit. It fits so well and the flared palazzo trouser style makes it looks like a Ballroom dress with side splits! It combines elegance with comfort perfectly. Each Chrsianne Clover practicwear piece has a unique design, which I admire.

 

What are your hobbies?

Dancing is both my career and hobby. I also like boxing!

 

What do you do in your spare time to relax?

I love trying different food. I’ve got sweet tooth – a very happy me after having them.

Believe in yourself, your partner and your teachers, and try very very hard! Just do it, your dream will come true.

At Chrisanne Clover we are thrilled to welcome to the sponsor family Irina Cherepanova, a professional Ballroom dancer who has had huge competition success with partner Stanislav Zellanin. Here we catch up with Irina as we prepare her fittings for her next Ballroom dress…

 

When did you start dancing?

I started dancing when I was 8 years old and Stas started dancing when he was 6, but for him it was not serious because at 6 it is just fun dancing … from 8 I was already very serious lol ;)

 

How long have you been partners for?

We started dancing together when we were 12 so we have been dancing together for about 20 years

 

What got you into dancing?

Actually, this is a very interesting story because my Mum had a good friend whose son went to dance class and he needed a dance partner, so they asked me to go dancing and be his partner … but after 2 months he stopped dancing lol

 

What is your highest achievements in dance?

I think the biggest achievement is that we still dance together after all these years haha! However if you talk about recent achievements, it’s to become Vice World champions and Vice Champions at Internationals 2022. Another proud moment is this year’s World Super Stars in Tokyo because we did 4 unique shows and my dresses helped me to express myself in the best possible way … as a kid we watched all the world superstars on DVD and now we are there also, it is truly amazing!!

 

 

What is your favourite competition?　

Actually, we both just love to compete so big or small – it doesn’t matter to us as long as we are on the dancefloor.

 

Why are you proud to be a CHRISANNE CLOVER sponsor?

When I was young I used to watch all the videos of the top dancers and be in awe of them wearing such amazing dresses, such as Joanne Bolton. A lot of those beautiful dresses worn were Chrisanne - so to now be dressed by Chrisanne Clover is really such an honour and a privilege.

 

(Our talented dressmaker Emma who is currently making Irina’s dresses actually made Joanne Bolton’s dresses too! )

 

What is your favourite Chrisanne Clover colour?　

At the moment I love the colour spearmint > and cobalt >, to be honest the colours are so bold and bright that all the colours look spectacular – even the colour white > is so vivid it truly looks amazing!

 

What is your favourite piece of Chrisanne Clover Dancewear?

Emma trousers >  they are very comfortable to dance in especially practicing for a showdance as sometimes you can get your foot stuck in the trousers, but with the cuffs it makes it very comfortable and convenient.

 

If you didn’t dance what do you think your career would be?

Dance lol! I don’t know maybe something related to the theatre or history …

 

What are your hobbies?

To be honest I don’t have a hobby as such but if I have the time it would probably be to go to see a show or a museum.

 

 

What do you do in your spare time to relax?

We love to travel and explore what the cities have to offer, recently we went to Paris and spent a lot of time checking out the museums Orsay and Louvre, we also enjoyed watching various shows but the most impressive was the opera at the Palais Garnier.

 

Do you have any advice to young dancers reading this?

Believe in yourself and never give up … Keep going and enjoy the process

As we welcome spring in London we make way for fresh colour, movement, and lightness – both on and off the dance floor. This spring, we turn to six standout shades from the Chrisanne Clover colour collection to inspire your next ballroom dance dress. From the soft elegance of Bluebell to the bold energy of Neon Red, these spring colours are perfect for creating a ballroom dress that feels alive with personality and poise.

 

 

Bluebell: Soft and Romantic

A pastel with presence, Bluebell offers a gentle alternative to traditional neutrals. Ideal for layered skirts in georgette or stretch net, this hue brings a delicate, romantic energy to any ballroom fabric design. Complementary crystal colours that harmonize perfectly include crystal, light sapphire, tanzanite and alexandrite.

 

Neon Red: Bold and Unforgettable

 Vibrant, dynamic, and impossible to ignore – Neon Red is made for bold performers who want to command attention from the first step. Experiment with pleating as shown on Natascha’s dresses that creates luxurious depth and shine. Crystals that complement this lively tone beautifully include light siam, hyacinth, siam and crystal.

 

Cobalt: Confident and Commanding

For dancers who want to make a striking impression, Cobalt brings depth, richness, and an undeniable presence under stage lights to make sure you stand out on a dancefloor. It pairs beautifully with crystal embellishments and structured silhouettes. Add dimension with bugle bead droppers which enhance the luxurious tone of this colour and create subtle drama in motion. Complementary crystal colours that harmonize perfectly include capri blue, sapphire, dark indigo and crystal.

 

Salmon: Refined and Radiant

A sophisticated take on pink, refined, flattering, and ideal for spring styling. It looks exceptional in our botanic embroidery on stretch net especially when paired with delicate floral details for a fresh seasonal feel. Finish the look with our  luxury 6 ply Ostrich feathers to bring elegance and soft movement to the design. This hue pairs beautifully with crystal tones in padparadscha, coral, rose and crystal

 

Saffron: Sunny Warmth

Saffron sings of spring – a golden hue that radiates warmth and adds luminous depth to any ballroom dance dress. It’s natural vibrancy shines through in velour and chiffon fabrics, giving movement a fluid, sunlit quality. This charming shade pairs beautifully with crystal colours in light topaz, topaz, citrine and crystal

 

Apple Green: Crisp and Refreshing

Bright, zesty and fun, Apple Green breathes life into any ballroom dress and is definitely hard to miss. Ideal for spring and early summer events, this colour works beautifully in satin chiffon and shading. It pairs beautifully with crystal shades in peridot, shamrock, fern green and crystal

 

 

Spring is a season of renewal, and your ballroom dress should reflect that. Whether you are drawn to soft pastels or vibrant hues, Chrisanne Clover’s Spring palette offers the perfect colour for your next statement. Explore our full range of fabrics to bring your design to life – or speak to our team to find the right match for your performance.

A step-by-step guide to your bespoke dress

1. The vision: your Chrisanne Clover couture journey begins

Your bespoke experience starts with a personal consultation. Our expert sales team will discuss your inspiration, preferred style, and performance needs, helping shape your vision into reality. Whether you have a clear concept or need guidance, we work closely with you to ensure the design reflects your individuality. It is also worth noting that this does not need to be an in person meeting

2. The measurements: the foundation of the perfect fit

A flawless fit is essential. You will complete our specialised measurement chart, which ensures that your gown is tailored to your exact proportions, without the need for an in-person fitting.

This step is more than just numbers - it allows our designers to create a dress that will enhance your movement and flatter your figure, ensuring that every detail of the design works in harmony with your silhouette.

3. The virtual design consultation: bringing your dress to life

Once your measurements are submitted, you will have a virtual consultation with our creative design team. This is your opportunity to:

 

-              Share your vision and any inspiration

-              Discuss preferred styles, fabrics, and embellishments

-              Explore details that will enhance both performance and aesthetics

This collaborative process ensures we fully understand what is important to you, creating a starting point for your bespoke design.

 

 

4. The design illustration: your dress takes shape

Following the consultation, our team will create a stylised illustration of your gown. This sketch captures the essence of your design and allows you to visualise the final creation.

At this stage, you will have the opportunity to provide feedback and request adjustments. The length of time available for revisions will depend on when the dress is required, so early consultations are encouraged.

Once you are happy with the final design, we will proceed to the next stage.

5. The deposit: confirming your couture piece

To begin production, a 50% deposit is required upon confirmation of your design. This secures your place in our couture schedule, allowing our expert artisans to start bringing your dream dress to life.

6. The craftsmanship: hand-finished in London

With your design finalised, our team of highly skilled dressmakers in our London atelier begins crafting your gown with precision and care. Each piece is hand-cut, hand-sewn, and hand-embellished to ensure the highest level of craftsmanship. Swarovski® crystals are applied with flawless attention to detail, creating a gown that sparkles under the lights. Every stitch is carefully considered to balance elegance, durability, and performance.

Please be aware that your bespoke dress will take a minimum of four weeks to create from the start of making.

7. The final reveal: a dress made just for you

Once your gown is complete, it undergoes a final quality check to ensure it meets Chrisanne Clover’s exceptional standards. Your dress is then beautifully packaged and sent to you, complete with:

 

-              A Chrisanne Clover dress bag – for elegant storage and protection

-              A Chrisanne Clover dress cover – ensuring your gown stays pristine

-              A Swarovski® crystal repair kit – for minor repairs, keeping your dress flawless

Your couture creation is now ready for the dance floor—a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, designed and handcrafted in London, exclusively for you.

International Women’s Day: Honouring Women in Dance with Chrisanne Clover

Every year on 8th March, International Women’s Day celebrates the achievements of women across the world while recognising the continued journey towards equality. At Chrisanne Clover, we proudly champion the women who shape the dance industry—dancers, designers, and visionaries who push the boundaries of artistry and performance. Dance is a world where women have long flourished, bringing grace, strength, and expression to the stage.

The Power and Elegance of Women in Dance

Women in dance bring elegance, femininity, and exceptional skill to the floor. Their dedication, from hours of practice to stunning performances, is evident in every step. As partners in ballroom, they balance grace with strength, complementing their male counterparts with precision and artistry.

At Chrisanne Clover, we are proud to support and dress these remarkable women. The right dancewear not only enhances movement but also elevates confidence, allowing dancers to perform at their best. Each of our designs is crafted with care, ensuring every gown reflects the beauty and sophistication of the dancer wearing it.

 

Irina Cherepanova: A Champion of Elegance and Strength

A true icon in ballroom dance, Irina Cherepanova has established herself as a leading figure in the industry. Alongside her partner, Stanislav Zelianin, she has achieved global recognition, including becoming Professional World Champions. Their performances demonstrate extraordinary technique, musicality, and passion, captivating audiences and setting new standards in the world of ballroom dance.

Irina’s dance journey began at the age of eight, and her partnership with Stanislav started when they were twelve, marking over two decades of dedication to the craft. Her commitment to perfection is evident in every performance, where she combines power with fluidity, precision with artistry.

Chrisanne Clover has had the privilege of collaborating with Irina on her couture dancewear, ensuring each gown is a reflection of her style and elegance. Working closely with our designer, Becky, she has helped create gowns that enhance her movement while maintaining an air of sophistication. Her spearmint gown, inspired by Oscar de la Renta’s bridal collection, features a soft ballroom skirt adorned with crystallised fringing—an exquisite representation of the harmony between fashion and performance.
