Brown Wood- Sam and Berkley's DanceSport page

24/03/2023

It’s with a heavy heart, that Berkley and myself are announcing that we are parting ways after a successful and memorable 9 years of dancing together.
We have so many people along the way that have helped us but most importantly our coaches Jeremy Garner, Leeanne Bampton, Grant Barratt Thompson, Jason Beaman and Pam Courts, our amazing parents who have given us every opportunity to further our dancing careers, our fellow competitors who have pushed us to become better, Dancewear For You for who we are ambassadors for and all those that are apart of our dancing family.
Such a sad but proud moment reflecting on our journey of us two country kids living hours apart from each other and our coaches, to be winning state to national titles and taking our dancing internationally representing Australia.
I ask you all not to feel sad that it is coming to an end, but be thankful that we were here and experienced it all together….

What an amazing couple of days at the 76th Australian Dancesport Championship last weekend!! 🎉

Winning 4 Australian titles over the weekend!
Placing 1st in the Under 21 Open Ballroom, Under 21 Open New Vogue, Under 21 Open Latin (Australian Closed, placed 2nd in event) and the highlight of winning the Adult Open 10 Dance 🏆🏆🏆🏆

An absolute honour to have made the achievement of winning Australian titles in BOTH Under 21 and Adult age groups in the same year, what a way to farewell the under 21 age group!

A huge thank you to our coaches Jeremy Garner, Grant Barratt-Thompson, Leeanne Bampton and Jason Beamon for all of the knowledge and support you have given us, Dancewear For You who we are proud ambassadors for, and our amazing parents and dance family for all of their love and support ❤️❤️
