Episode notes

In this episode, Marius Iepure sits down again with Peter Nash - competitor, coach, adjudicator, examiner, academy builder, and Operations Director of the British DanceSport Association - for the second part of an honest conversation about a life fully lived inside DanceSport.

They talk about starting dance at seven, fifty years of learning, safeguarding and yellow cards, judge bans and the London Open, taking British dancing to new corners of the world, and what ultimate inclusion really means beyond a mission statement.

If you care about the human side of DanceSport, not just the results but the people and values behind them ; this episode is worth your time.

In this episode:

- why Peter still teaches despite fifty years and bad knees

- how safeguarding changed the culture around dancers

- why more federations and clubs can be a good thing

- what ultimate inclusion means for the future of ballroom
