Christopher and Emma Burrell have launched Starlight Dancing, which offers dance sessions at Marks Tey Village Hall.

They are a brother and sister partnership who have been dancing since they could walk.

Both Christopher and Emma started competing in ballroom and Latin in 2007 but with different partners and they started dancing together in 2009.

They have also represented England in a number of European and International Championships.

The classes in Marks Tey were started to give residents an opportunity to show off their moves and have fun.

Christopher said: “We must have had about 20 people there. They had a really great time. They were a bit nervous at first but they had a fantastic day.

“They loved the music and the atmosphere. This isn’t so much teaching them routines, it’s just an opportunity for them to come and dance.

“We also had sequence dances which are really popular and a music quiz.”

Christopher and Emma were the main dancers featured in the television advert for former Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman’s Ballroom Bonanza CD in 2015.
