Kevin Gibson & Shirley Saunderson

Kevin Gibson & Shirley Saunderson from Victoria, pictured on the right, have won the most Australian Professional Ballroom titles that we have on record. They won this prestigious title an amazing 9 times, with their first win in 1953, and their last win in 1964.

They did tie for first place twice during those year in 1957 & 1958 with New South Wales Professionals, Arthur & Linda Cornwall, who also won this event an amazing 5 times between 1955 to 1959. It must have been an exciting time in Australian dancing to have such wonderful competition.
