Peter Eggleton & Diana Gradwell - Ballroom competition 1958

[siranthony999]

I was a big fan of Peter back in The Good Old Days... I had the pleasure of meeting him again just a few weeks ago when he was teaching at my 'local' Vivo Dancesport, Hacienda Heights, california. He was very gracious and I had quite a long chat with him between students...

This is an amazing clip - I saw them at the Butlins Filey Dance Festival the same year.. When Peter turned professional he got a different partner - Brenda Winslade.

this was a typical quickstep before Bill and Bobbie Irvine invented what I call the "Galloping Quickstep", which became the standard.

I might be related to Diana but I don't know where along the line. Because my line of Gradwells are becoming extinct
