EMILY AND SCOTT CHAMPIONS FOR AN AMAZING THREE YEARS IN A ROW
Local ballroom dancing couple Emily Brown and Scott Wilson headed to Blackpool this Easter and won the British Junior Champions title for a very impressive third year in a row.
Aged just 15, the pair are receiving funding for coaching expenses from local charity The Travers Foundation. The Travers Foundation is a Northamptonshire-based, volunteer-run charity which helps 13 to 30 year olds living in Northamptonshire, Rutland or Leicestershire improve their skills in sports, the creative arts and the performing arts.
Emily and Scott have danced together since the age of seven, and their achievements are impressive - they are the current UK Junior Sequence Champions, having won the title in 2015, 2016 and 2017; and they have now retained their British Junior Sequence Championship title, having won this in 2015, 2016 and again in 2017.
They will both retire from the Junior ranks when they turn 16.
Emily and Scott performed at The Travers Foundation showcase event at the Corby Cube in March 2017, and wowed the crowd with their impressive tango. The couple have also branched out into Modern Ballroom, finishing third in the British Closed Junior Ballroom Championships at Blackpool in November 2016.
They won the DPA/BDF National League Junior Sequence Award for 2015/2016 and finished third in the DPA/BDF National League Junior Ballroom Award for 2016/2017. These are leagues where the marks gained at weekly competitions all over the country over a 12 month period are totalled to show the six leading couples in each grade at the end of the year.
Terry Forsey, Chairman of The Travers Foundation, said:
"We are absolutely delighted that Emily and Scott have won again at Blackpool - what an amazing achievement! They work so hard, and really deserve this accolade. We are so proud of them, and happy to help them achieve their ambitions. Everybody at The Travers Foundation wishes them all the best for the future."
