THE IMPERIAL RISING STAR  

The Imperial Has been organised by Michael and Lorna for over twenty years. During that time it has been held at many different venues but none so popular as the Copthorne Effingham Park Hotel which always offers an amazing atmosphere.

​

The date is always before the major UK Championships giving dancers the perfect opportunity to perform and compete against some of the greatest dancers in the world, and have that one last "run through"
