AUSTRALIAN BALLROOM HISTORY

Kevin Gibson & Shirley Saunderson

The 1950's to the early 1960's was dominated in Australia by the fabulous dancing of Kevin Gibson & Shirley Saunderson who achieved a record not beaten in Australia to this day.

Kevin & Shirley were an amazing 11 times Australian Professional Ballroom Champions from 1952 through to 1964. In both 1957 & 1958 they tied for the title with another very well known and world class dancing couple, Arthur & Linda Cornwall.
Kevin & Shirley also won the Australian Professional Latin title 3 times from 1961 to 1963.

On the world circuit, we know they were successful in making both the World Professional Ballroom and Latin finals in the same year, which was 1962.
Placing 3rd in the Ballroom final behind the two British Couples of Bill & Bobbie Irvine who won the title and Bob Burgess & Doreen Freeman who were runners up.
In the World Latin final, Kevin & Shirley placed an amazing 4th with winners being none other than Walter Laird & Lorraine of the UK, Bill & Bobbie Irvine in 2nd place and, Rudolph Trautz & Inge Schmid of Germany who placed 3rd. Bob Burgess & Doreen Freeman placed in 5th behind Kevin & Shirley, and the Shinoda's of Japan took out 6th place.

We have heard many stories about Kevin & Shirley and what a wonderfully talented couple they were, and how very well respected and admired around the world they both were by so many.
If anyone has any other results or stories about these Australian dancing legends, please comment below or send u san email to info@outsidechange.com we would love to know more about Kevin & Shirley.

Interesting fact: Kevin's sister, many of you will remember her, Maureen McCabe, also won the Australian Amateur Ballroom Championship with husband Arthur in 1952.

Kevin & Shirley are definitely one of Australia's greats and should never be forgotten. We must never forget our Ballroom history.

Please visit www.outsidechange.com for more of Australia's rich past, and if you have anything you would like to share with us, please send us an email at info@outsidechange.com
