Laurence Tanti and Consuela Camilleri took part in the Blackpool Dance Festival World Championships, placing 31st out of 100 couples.
“We are truly honoured to be part of the BBC documentary about the Blackpool Dance Festival featuring Latin & Ballroom Dancing. It’s such an amazing feeling to see the Malta Flag on that competition dance floor,” Tanti told Lovin Malta.
“It gives us goosebumps! Our goal is to put Malta on the International Map. We will continue to work hard to achieve this!” he expressed.
The couple was also recently ranked 20th in the world in the professional Latin dance category, by the World Dance Council.
