The most prestigious competition of the year took place at the Albert Hall this Autumn – The Internationals! Dancers and spectators travelled to London from all over the world to participate in this competition season. Phones have been ringing off the hook for fabric orders and couture dresses, the Cheam Boutique has been filled with customers wanting everything from fabrics to dancewear and tanning products. It has been wonderful catching up with our sponsored dancers, meeting new sponsors and seeing lots of wonderful customers and friends.
