Petar Daskalov & Zia James 
British Amateur Latin Champions Petar & Zia have firmly established themselves as regular finalists in the Amateur Latin division. Since starting to dance together in 2013 after Petar chased Zia for four years, they've always been one of the leading couples nationally, winning four British Nationals Amateur Latin titles. They made their first Blackpool Amateur Latin final in 2016, finishing in sixth place having only made the top 28 the year before and they describe this as one of their most special moments. Since then there's been no looking back as they have constantly put pressure on the other leading Amateur Latin couples around them. Their favourite dance is the Paso Doble.
They joined our #IDSEliteTeam in 2015 though they had been wearing our shoes for years before! Petar wears our 'Rumba' in Black Calf and Zia wears our 'LTB' in Tan Satin, although she has often worn our 'Mia T-Bar' in Tan Satin, Gold and sometimes even Black Satin.

Joel Lopez & Kristina Bespechnova 
Joel & Kristina have been part of the #IDSEliteTeam longer than most couples, having been a charismatic and forever entertaining part of our team since 2014!
These passionate dancers, now based in Hong Kong, teamed up having talked at a World Youth Championship in China many years ago and despite now being established finalists and semi-finalists in major competitions across the world, meeting each-other is what they consider their greatest achievement.
Off the dance floor, Joel can often be found in the gym, which is where 99% of his Instagram stories are filmed. Kristina loves her yoga and psychology.
Joel wears our 'Rumba' in Black Nubuck and Kristina wears our 'Mia T-Bar' in Gold and in Tan Satin. You can follow Joel on Instagram by clicking here and follow Kristina by clicking here.
