AUSTRALIAN BALLROOM & LATIN HISTORY

Philip & Jan Nicholas (Queensland)

Philip & Jan have been one of Australia's greats on the international circuit in the Amateur Latin events during the 1970's.

They were the first Australian Amateur Latin couple to make the British Open Amateur Latin final in 1974, and then being finalists again in both 1975 and 1976, with their best result being 4th place.

They were also 4 times World Amateur Latin finalists, with their highest placing being an amazing 3rd in 1976.
3 times International Amateur Latin finalists and, at the UK Open, they featured in the final an incredible 4 times.

They turned Professional before ending their partnership, and competed at the International Championships. They placed 7th in the semi final round in their one and only Professional event.

An Australian couple who were at the top of their game in their competition days, and truly a couple who helped keep Australia on the map on the international circuit.
They were great competitors and one of the best in the World.

Philip is one of Australia's most sort after adjudicators, and can be seen on many National Championship Adjudicating Panels.

2017 - David Rozycki & Sarah Whiter
2018 - Michael & Roslyn Cocks
2019 - Crawford Hill & Monique Savill

The evening Grand final that this is chosen from must have 3 or more couples, and this year, the events that will feature in the evening program that are eligible for the DanceSurance Outside Change Cup are:

Professional Ballroom

We cannot thank DanceSurance enough for their continued support of the Outside Change Cup, and also a special mention must go to the late Dennis Foley, this actual trophy is one that Dennis himself won in his competing days. He created DanceSurance, and we were very lucky to have him attend the OC Cup & Freedom To Dance Ball before he passed.

Who will win it in 2021? We look forward to presenting this magnificent trophy once again with the DanceSurance team.
