  • Thank you so much for posting this video. I was fortunate enough to have lessons from them in the 90s, inspirational and incredibly knowledgeable, but I never saw them dance like this such musicality & control just beautiful. Bill & Bobbie wrote a book about their life and dancing sadly it may be out of print now, but find it and read it if you can!

  • Thanks Paul, my pleasure. I guess you also have seen my other vids in which Bill and Bobbie appear?

  • They taught me when I was dancing in th elate 60's - they were exquisite dancers. Thanks so much to whover posted this video. Feels like I have died and gone to heaven

  • Your very welcome. It is my pleasure, Martin.

  • i met them in hartlepool few times when they were judges at competitions i was in didnt realise how well they had done love watching them bring backs memories

  • Imagine wearing that dress onto Blackpool floor now...

  • The Germans always had the best dance music

  • I'm in the middle of a clear out and have just come across some old memorabilia of my teenage years when I used to have ballroom dancing lessons at 'Taskers of Bury' back in 1971. Our awards were presented by Billy & Bobby Irvine on several occasions and so I decided to Google them. I have to say that at the time I don't think I appreciated just how famous they were! True champions. And the Taskers made a great contribution to our teenage years. Thank you for the video.

  • Well...Gotta love the 60s Ballroom Dancing and its GIANT cupcake dresses!

    they really were something to see!

  • lovely & elegant

  • i was taught dancing by these two and i've still got my medals - they used to have a dance stuidio in Worcester Park - i loved it

  • They are surely missed... they are always up there looking on all dancesport competitors in every competitions!!!!

  • Wish they are still healthy and keep on dancing. Fabulous iconic dancers!
