The Royal Albert Hall welcomes a select group of 360 consummate dance floor experts, both amateur and professional, for the 58th annual International Ballroom Dancing Championships. Spectators will have the chance to see the pros compete in Latin class (Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive). The amateurs, as well as dancing Latin, will go foot-to-foot in standard class, giving us a demonstration of the timeless classics (Slow Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot and Quickstep). The popular TV show Strictly Come Dancing has raised interest in dancing to unprecedented levels, and the standard here will be exceptional.About Royal Albert Hall
Classical music, rock, pop and jazz, sporting events, galas, banquets and balls and the world-famous Proms series all take place within the Royal Albert Hall's iconic oval walls. One of London's most versatile venues, it is a favourite of performers from Jose Carreras to Kylie Minogue. More about Royal Albert Hall
