Tonight’s the night!

Tonight is quite simply one of the very best nights of the Ballroom year: the grand finals of the International Championships at the Royal Albert Hall.

With the concluding rounds of the Amateur and Professional Ballroom and the Amateur and Professional Latin, it is always a fabulous night and the DSI TV cameramen will be there to live stream every moment from 5.30pm until midnight.

Here at DSI, we will be cheering on all our Elite Performers who have qualified to dance in the final rounds at the Royal Albert Hall – look out for more news on them in our social media feeds. And if you have any questions for our expert commentators Martin Cutler and Richard Miller, do get in touch through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Yesterday, which saw another packed day at Brentwood Centre, came to a thrilling conclusion for the DSI team when our Elite Performers Glenn-Richard Boyce and Cäroly Jänes came sixth in their very first International Under 21 Ballroom Championship.

We are extremely proud of this extraordinary pair, who are only 16 and 14, competing against much older dancers.

The amazing duo looked incredible too, with Cäroly in a stunning black crepe dress, which glittered beautifully on the floor courtesy of thousands of Volcano Swarovski rhinestones. The dress was nipped in with a corset-style belt and peplum, with a marabou feather trim at the hem completing the Hollywood look.

If you missed yesterday’s Ballroom events at Brentwood, you can watch the live action replay, which is already available on DSI TV.

This year looks to be a memorable one in the Royal Albert Hall, with the International debut of a few high-profile Professional partnerships including that of Simone Segatori and Annette Sudol in the Professional Ballroom and Nino Langella and Andra in the Professional Latin. Watch this space!

The live stream today starts at 5.30pm and runs until midnight. Don’t miss an unforgettable night! For more details and information on how to subscribe to DSI TV, click here.
