Hello and Goodbye

PHIL HOLDING & DEBORAH TRUMAN

Phil & Debbie We are sad to announce that Phil Holding has had to take a break from competitive dancing due to personal reasons. Phil and Debbie have been England’s top Senior I Ballroom couple.

They won the British Nationals and UK Closed last year and have won all their ranking comps since last July. They were placed 8^th at the International Championships in 2009 and 7^th at the British Open last month.

Debbie is looking for a new partner and we wish them both every success. They wanted to take this opportunity to thank EADA for the support they have received over the last 15 months and are disappointed not to be representing England at this year’s World Championships.
