Linda Drinkall

Linda has been dancing for 15 years and has competed in Line Dance Competitions for 6 years and has won many titles, and is the "2005 Line Dance Classic Silver World Champion".

Linda started off learning Latin & Ballroom at a fun mum's class which began her love for dancing. Soon after, Linda started Line Dancing and enjoyed it so much she started to train for competitions and traveled around Europe and went to the USA to compete in the World Championships.

Line Dancing became a big part so Linda decided to start her own classes and soon started Disco/Freestyle Classes as well and has qualifications at the Associate Level with the International dance teachers association in both Line Dancing and Freestyle.

Dancing is now a huge part of Linda's life and her passion for dance is shown through all the classes she teaches.

Emily Drinkall

Emily is 23 years old and has been dancing since the age of 3 training in Latin and Ballroom, Disco freestyle & Rock 'n' Roll, and has taken medal examinations up to President Award level. Emily started Line dancing at the age of 11 at a social class and enjoyed it so much she decided to try her hand at competing. In 2002 Emily did her first competition in Stoke on Trent and was hooked from then onwards, competing all around Europe and USA. A couple of years into competing Emily became the "2004 Line Dance Showcase Open World Champion" and soon graduating to the highest level of competition "Superstars". At this point Emily decided to retire from the Latin & Ballroom classes to concentrate on the Line Dancing and decided to start classes of her own, which included Disco/Freestyle & Street Dancing.

Two year's after winning that title Emily won the "2006 Pro-Pro Classic Open" division dancing with Pro Lee Easton. She now dances Division 1 Advanced Couples Classic & Showcase with Partner Clive Stevens. They are working towards the 2010 World Championships in Nashville, TN & hope to graduate to the Masters Division which is the top Couples Division there is. 

Emily has also achieved Star Awards at the World Championships including Favourite Line Dance Instructor & Favourite Line Dance Personality which was awarded at the Grand Ole Opry House.

Making a career out of dancing was always something Emily wanted to do and now teaches full time and travels the World teaching, Judging & Competing.

Emily holds teachers exams in Line Dancing and Freestyle at the Associate level with the I.D.T.A, and enjoys the teaching side especially to pass the enjoyment of dance to others.
