2022 - Blackpool Congress - May
There's too much going on but I thank those who have supported filming for many years. I am not sure if filming will ever continue continued as it was - the mercenary who have had a good life (lovely hotels / good food etc?) and now want a pension.. I will wait and see what happens. All I know for a lowly cameraman, things do not look as I'm pretty bottom of the barrel... Stay well xx More to follow..
All DVDs are still here . . and available..
2022 - YOUR PURCHASE SECURITY
In an attempt to stem the rising tide of bootleg illegal copies of CDs and DVD from many UK suppliers, we are registering all our DVD sets using a hologram code on the front sleeve which has a unique number - If you purchase a video from 2021 onwards without a hologram number, you may not have a genuine version.
We can now identify the source of the purchase or the country of destination -This is a FREE service and shares no personal details This might seem extreme and a complete pain to manage (which it is) but all of us here in the UK and beyond are getting fed up of having our hard-earned efforts copied by a bunch of foreign fraudsters who take everything for themselves. We hope you understand and support our actions
2022 - ORDERS TO THE EU
With the UK out of the EU, please be aware any purchases from the UK (here) will be subject to the laws of your country, rather than the free trade agreement that existed really well for years...
Starting the day with the effervescent Riccardo Cocchi and ending the second with Donnie Burns MBE; the two day congress was full of quality dance and a personal approach to the reason and passion behind dancing
There were many lectures of which the content may not even be fully appreciated for years to come; making this years’ Congress an especially valuable resource and a reminder why recording such events need to be supported which remain the only record of UK dance history
Some lectures will never happen again..

We hope you enjoy this added facility and, as always, please get in touch with any feedback: Contact Us
** Please bear with us whilst we get the best settings so videos don't do the Quickstep (that's Hop, Skip & Jump!)
1992 - History Re-Visited - A 26 Year-Old Gem
Many events happened in 1992; George H Bush and Boris Yeltzin declared the “Cold War” over, Sweden won the Ice Hockey World Championships, Nigel Mansell won his 26th F1 win in Brazil whilst back home on a sleepy Sunday in a dance studio in Peterborough, Dereck Brown filmed Mr Peter Eggleton for a dance training video
The finished video; lasting well over an hour, included 29 Waltz, Tango, Slow Foxtrot and Quickstep variations and was sent all around the world to those passionate about dance from a former six-times World Champion but; only available on VHS tape. As the years passed, video tape dropped from favour but the skill and the knowledge still remained; locked in the archives
A chance email request has resulted in the unearthing of this 26 year-old asset and www.dancefilming.com are proud to announce the original 1992 Peter Eggleton Ballroom Variations is now available on DVD in PAL and NTSC versions; re-edited and improved which also includes track-navigation; a feature never available on tape
Custodian of the Archives, Cameraman and Editor Mark Windsor-Hampton said “the knowledge these supreme dancers leave us cannot be underestimated. To witness a former World Champion offering techniques and advice many years after their original success is a treasure. We do our best to bring this footage back to life in the best condition possible to preserve the legacy of dance where the past is our future” /store
