Ross
Mitchell's
DANCE AND LISTEN ORCHESTRA
The Dance And Listen Orchestra was
formed in 1995 specifically
to play at the International Championships held annually in October
at The Royal Albert Hall, London, England.
The Orchestra plays each
January at the United Kingdom Open Championships
at The Bournemouth International Centre, Bournemouth, Dorset, England.
Originated by Ross Mitchell, it is the first
orchestra to be formed in
the United Kingdom during the last fifteen years to play the specific
tempos and rhythms required by ballroom dancers the world over.
Below are photographs taken at The International Championships
held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Thursday 8th October 1998.
Guest Conductor Ken Mackintosh is in the white jacket.
