Your host – Mr Pierre Schrauwen

Pierre Schrauwen is without a doubt one of the most respected names in the profession, and his exciting 40 year dancing career allows him to bring a freshness and enthusiasm to our exciting dance programme.

A highly respected choreographer and dancer, Pierre has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and has appeared in Heaven’s Gate - dancing with the great John Hurt and Kris Kristofferson - and The Gary Wilmott Christmas Show.

Pierre's early grounding in the technique of old time Sequence, Ballroom and Latin American has stayed with him throughout his career. He progressed to the Victor Sylvester Dance School, where he extended into competitive dancing.

Pierre and his partner Tracey Thornton have danced competitively all over the country, and were rated as number one couple in the world ratings for five years and won over 50 major championship titles. They were:

• Twice Undefeated Sequence world cup champions

Pierre took his professional examinations with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing. His love of dancing, entertainment and people is always evident and he is constantly around to chat, help and teach.
