Quasar Video/The Dancing Channels regret to inform its members that they have withdrawn from filming The Blackpool Dance Festival.

Following the success of the 2008 broadcasts and record DVD sales, TDC began negotiations for the 2009 Festival earlier, so as to maximise marketing opportunities and obtain sponsorship deals - which would have resulted in the live broadcasts being FREE to view.

However, despite a longstanding relationship spanning almost two decades, a workable contract with Leisure Parcs could not be reached in a timely manner, which left TDC with no option but to withdraw from the Festival.

Understandably there is much disappointment, but we have some good news!
Our on-the-scene reporter, Martin Cutler, will be bringing you a blog each day of the festival, filled with news, results and more, so be sure to check this out on www.thedancingchannels.com

TDC would like to thank its members for their support and look forward to bringing you many wonderful dance competitions in the future…watch this space!
