We want to give a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to our very own Lynn Hayes from our Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Sarasota representing us at THE BIGGEST COMPETITION in the BALLROOM WORLD, BLACKPOOL!

She not only danced beautifully at this GORGEOUS EVENT.

Her and her Professional Partner, Tim Pennenga, are now BLACKPOOL PRO/AM VICE CHAMPIONS in the ladies C Division!

This is a Quote from LYNN:
“Tim, You have transformed a basketball playing, bike riding empty nester who couldn’t clap to music into an actual dancer. And in doing so introduced me into this wonderful world of dance.
I am grateful every practice for your patience, knowledge and passion. THANK YOU 🤗
And TIANA , your support, instruction and friendship mean the world to me😘
A BIG thanks also to FRED ASTAIRE SARASOTA studio staff and fellow students for always supporting and cheering us on.“
