They are very approachable and adaptable and react to any problem that comes their way however difficult with a professional smile and a continuation of a great performance.

Crystal Boot Awards, Blackpool, 8-10th Feb...

This year (2008) we were honoured to welcome to the Crystal Boot Awards two of the most talented dancers you will ever see on a dance floor. They also happen to be two of the nicest people you will ever meet. I am speaking of Darren Bailey and Lana Williams.

Darren and Lana graced the huge glittering dance floor at the Crystal Boot Awards and gave a stunning performance that brought the house down. When this couple dance together it goes beyond a performance, it goes to a place that few dancers will ever reach. They are exhilarating, exciting and entertaining in every aspect.

At the same event, I was one of many people who attended their Lindy Hop workshop and was in awe of their teaching skills. I joined their class to find it already in uproar with laughter and high spirits.

Darren (Mr Motivator) and Lana (Miss Inspiration) have a great teaching technique. Firstly, showing it, then slowing it, then breaking it down and finally building it up again which ensured everyone, no matter the age or ability, could perform quite a challenging but fun Lindy routine of 256 counts by the end of the session. Phew!

I will always be honoured to work with this couple at any time or event in the future and I have no hesitation in recommending them as two of the best in the business. Yours in line, (Betty Drummond Linedancer Magazine)

Darren and Lana returned to Scotland for our Annual Linedance party and what a fantastic evening we had. Truly magical.
Last year we thought they were amazing, this year they were “out of this world”

They performed 3 routines for us - The Flamenco and the American Smooth, which were absolutely amazing to watch. This was so much better than watching them perform on TV, they had the audience captivated by their charisma. The last routine was their Lindy Hop, which left the entire audience breathless. The energy, passion, enthusiasm and connection that Darren and Lana have are unbelievable. They are true professionals. Their partnership just seems to go from strength to strength. Every time they step onto the floor they light up the room and you just cannot take your eyes of them. They make such a beautiful couple.

Throughout the whole evening the energy in the room was electric and we just did not want the evening to end. The dancers were ecstatic when Darren and Lana took the time to join them on the floor during the social dancing. They truly touched everyone’s hearts. I know we will be talking about this night for many months to come.

Thanks again for a fantastic evening.

Plans are in place to do it all again next year and we cannot wait!!!!

They continue to connect so well as a couple and they look like they have been together for years. Next up was a new Jive routine recently choreographed. Again this was truly amazing!!! The choreography was outstanding and they danced this with all their heart and sole. They put 100% into everything that they do and as soon as they step onto the dance floor you can tell that they just love doing what they do.
