Blackpool Dance Festival
Introduction
I´m going to talk about a famous annual ballroom dance competition. I chose this

Blackpool
The festival takes place in Blackpool. A seaside city in the north-west of England. The
population of this town is 142 900. The headquarters of an outstanding British sports car
manufacturer TVR are also located in Blackpool. The biggest income of this town is based on
tourism industry. The highest peak in tourism was from 1900 to 1950 when the beach and

hotel and B&B beds than the whole of Portugal. This town is visited approximately by 10
million visitors every year, during the heyday there were 17 million visitors.
