Paul Killick
Paul specialises in Latin and has won more international titles than we have room for.
So here’s just a glimpse of his mantelpiece – World Cup, World Trophy, World Masters, World Series, Universal and British Professional Latin American DanceSport Championships!
When not polishing silverware, he is also a choreographer, coach, TV personality, dance judge and a world-class adjudicator.
Karen Hardy
Karen started dancing aged 5, which may help explain the following:
The Carl Alan Award (with Bryan Watson). Most Outstanding Latin American Couple, World Masters, Osaka World Trophy, United Kingdom Open, International Open, British National, Italian Open, London Open, Yankee Classic.
Now, Karen is a dance coach and, of course, won Teacher of the Year in 2002 and 2003!
You’ll remember her as a Strictly professional and she’s also an international Grand Slam adjudicator.
