Wednesday the 22nd January in the BIC, Bournemouth , England was the 2014 UK Professional Ballroom Competition. In the early rounds the couples danced to recorded music and then in the evening when the top 25 couples dance the quarter final, the Orchestra of Ross Mitchell plays.
Starting from the early morning all couples were present to produce their performances to a panel of adjudicators that consisted of 12 men and 1 lady. Ballroom dancing is executed by a man and a woman, so therefore I would have thought that a panel consisting of both male and female adjudicators would be more balanced. I felt that this was a little one-sided.
