Julian and Melanie have been dancing together for 7 years now and have worked hard to achieve great success.They moved over from Australia in 2004 to better all aspects of their dancing and also to experience some travelling within the UK and Europe.

Since they have been dancing in London, they have been making semi-finals and finals of all the local and major championships and their best result to date is becoming the 2005 Australian Professional Latin Champions, placing 21st in this year’s World Championships in Russia & making the top 24 couples at the British Open Professional Latin in Cha Cha and Paso Doble.

Julian and Melanie have been working with some of the top latin coaches in the world such as Karen Hardy, Shirley Ballas, Graham Oswick & Richard Porter and find them a continues inspiration for their own dancing.
