I'd argue that Slavik Kryklyvyy, Yulia, Melia, Franco Formica and of course Michael and Joanna are all pretty huge stars of dancesport and they are all instantly recognisable with a signature style.”

It'a a matter of perspective and opinion. But in one room there was Donnie & Gaynor, Corky & Shirley, Sammy & Barbara. Alan Tornberk & Vibeke, Brian Watson & Karen Hardy or Carmen, Paul Killick & Charlott Idling, Louie Van Amstel & Julie Fryer, Jean Marc & France, Tony Meridith & Melanie, Hans Galke & Bianca, Jukka & Sirpa, Sandro Cavalinni & Hanna, Ralph and Olga Muller in Ballroom 1. Then put the current top 12 at Blackpool in Ballroom 2. Which room do you think has the most stars, individuality, and style, and which room has the most couples that look alike. I think I would pay to go into Ballroom 1.
