A large contingent of Just Rhythm dancers from a range of divisions and age groups made their way across to Tasmania to compete in one of our favourite events of the Dancesport calendar - the Tasmanian Dancesport Championships. Event director Andrew Palmer puts on an amazing event each year and this year was no different.
