REVIEW OF 2018 from Momma Dragon Lyndsey 

"My main observation of 2018 was the quality of the dancing. I really cannot remember a time when there was such parity on the dancefloor. Our amazing judges definitely had their work cut out and I remember looking at their faces on numerous occasions where they really were struggling where to place people.

We did encounter some computer issues for the first time this year. You have no idea how hard the judges and crew had to work to implement plan B. Big thanks for the team that stepped in to the breach and it meant it was hardly noticeable. It does mean we will not be able to provide personalised results for 2018. If you have not been refunded please contact Andy on 07771977271. We will be reviewing next years approach.

In addition, I have had such amazing feedback about this year’s competition music being the best EVER. We were hugely privileged to have Kieran DJing for us and he certainly managed to strike the balance between providing challenging, sophisticated music choices and maintaining the Welsh Champs atmosphere – fingers crossed he will be back again next year.

A big shout and huge thank you to everyone that supported Welsh Champs this year; to you the competitors, to the judges, crew, DJ’s, compere and the staff at Barry Memo."

Thanks and keep dancing, Lyndsey & Andy xxxx
