... began dancing at the age of eight at a local dancing school which by chance, turned out to be owned by the highly successful and world famous Syd Perkin and Edna Duffield in Warren's home town of Stoke on Trent.

At the age of eleven, Warren won the British Juvenile Championship at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool.     Supported by his devoted late parents, Maurice and Jean, Warren travelled around the country competing and becoming one of the country's top Juniors and at the age of 15, made his first British Junior final.

A number of different partners came and went until at the age of 19 he met his last partner and now wife, Jane, at a studio in Birmingham run by top competitive coaches, Robin Short and Rita Last who introduced them.  

Still financed by his parents, Warren had a string of jobs - of note was a long stint as an airbrush artist to help with his coaching costs although he says that he owes all of his success to his parents without whom, he could never have achieved his goals.

A glittering Amateur and Professional career followed with them being in demand all over the world before finally retiring from competitions at Sun City in South Africa in 1997.

... began her dancing career at the age of six at a local dancing school in Dudley in the West Midlands where her parents, Ray and Mary attended.    Jane concentrated on her medals progressing through the IDTA medal test syllabus enjoying her classes and social dances with her parents unaware of the competitive world out there.   She danced with other girls in the classes and medal tests until she was 17 always taking the 'gents role' as she was so tall.

While studying for her A levels, she worked at Woolworths as a Saturday girl so that she could afford extra dance lessons but it was her dance teacher who confronted her with a surprise partner for competitions at the age of 18.    She'd got the bug and when the partnership ended some months later after only a handful of local competitions, she went for a ‘try out' at a top Birmingham studio owned by Robin Short and Rita Last.

She didn't get the partner but Robin and Rita noticed her and rang Warren to suggest a try-out as they had been impressed. Warren split with his partner to dance with Jane and the rest is history.

Jane worked for British Telecom in Wolverhampton and Birmingham where she became a senior level manager until she turned professional in 1994.

They turned professional in 1994 and opened their first branch of the Zig Zag Dance Factory in Birmingham while still competing in the professional ranks.

They quickly became the British representatives for the European and World Professional Ten Dance Championships and representing the nation gained a 4th place at the European in Germany and a 5th place at the World's in Holland in 1997.

Throughout their career, they travelled to many weird and wonderful places and saw plenty of 'airports!'  Notable competitions and tours included a three week tour of China, Hong Kong and Macau where they performed to thousands at huge stadiums as well as being guests of honour at Tiananmen Square.   They walked along the Great Wall of China one day and became the champions of Shanghai the next!    There have been many notable competitions and tours including New York, Vancouver, Mexico, Hawii, Israil, Egypt, Dubai, South America, St. Petersburg and Vladivostok in Russia, Cape Town in South Africa and most of Europe.

On February 29th 2000, Jane and Warren became the proud parents of triplet girls.    Not only were they the first ever triplets born to high level dancers but they were the first ever leap day triplets in the new millennium!

Huge media interest ensued with features in dozens of national newspapers and the national TV news.

The family have now made their home in the West Midlands from where they can easily travel to their different studios. They continue to teach, adjudicate, organize dancing holidays, choreograph for TV and film contracts and raise their family.

Warren and Jane have worked on many TV & film projects including being choreographers on the film set of the BBC soap opera ‘Doctors' where they taught the actors how to dance, choreographed the scene and supplied many dance extras from their own school. Also, Warren has appeared in feature films and taught and partnered Joanna Lumley in the BBC drama ‘The Weather in the Streets'.  They also provide couples, dancers and cabaret artists for numerous corporate events, private clients and the world of 'Show Biz'

They have starred in the Channel 4 smash hit 'Baby Ballroom' and the BBC 3 documentary 'How To Live With Women' which documented their lifestyle in a reality style programme where the camera crew lived with them for a week following them around. They have been choreographers and consultants on various projects from drinks commercials in Cairo , Midlands Today, Basil Brush, Rumba in the Jungle, and Strictly Come Dancing.  There have been numerous other TV appearances not least 25 programmes of the worlds longest running TV programme 'Come Dancing' 

Warren and Jane also support a number of charitites including Compton Hospice, Romanian Orphans, Birmingham Kidney Kids Appeal, Meningitus Trust and have organized and participated in various fund raising excercises which includes Sky Diving and a Naked Calendar Shoot!

Warren & Jane also write for  'Dance News' as reporters and critics as well as various dance websites where their articles and comments are regularly featured.

Today, they are busier than ever teaching competitive couples who travel to them from far and wide.   They have been voted 'Top Teachers of the Year' for the last 10 years and 'Supreme Teachers of the Year' for the last 7 years and now spend most of their free time trying to put back into the dance industry what so many have taken out.....that is, high level competition dancers by offering affordable coaching and a genuine and caring approach to their pupils.
