The Ballroom Bible was designed as a tool for elite professional dancers; yet is a valid instructional for the beginner enthusiast through to the most avid advanced professional.
Teach yourself at home with our simple social dances or learn the most advanced professional principles in Short Cuts to Success and Express Elevator.
For the aspiring Champion, the Ballroom Bible includes information never before released, The Davies Ballroom Principles, “The Art to Championship Dancing” from the greatest dance master of all time, an Australian and a LEGEND that the British have managed to keep well hidden for 50years.
Mr. Alf Davies, whom with wife and partner Julie Reaby created a unique niche in the History of Ballroom Dancing by being the first and only foreigners during the 20th Century to defeat the elite British Legends of Dance on British home ground in their own “British Championship” with British Judges at the UK’s Blackpool Festival.
