About

DanceworkZ  was formed by Principals Ian Saville and Linda Collier after a long dance competitive career at the highest level.​ They both learned to dance as children in the Midlands and successfully competed in ballroom and latin at Junior, Youth, and Amateur level. Between them they have won the Junior British and International titles. They were finalists in the International Open Amateur Ballroom Championship and made one of the final rounds of the International Open Amateur Latin Championship, dancing at the Royal Albert Hall. ​Ian and Linda have been trained by some of ballroom dancing's 'greats', including several World Champions. Since dancing together after quite a long break, Ian and Linda became one of the most successful senior competitors in the Country’s history.
