When Pete is not teaching, he works as a professional Master of Ceremonies for both national and international dance competitions. With his vast amount of experience with the ‘equality dance’ scene, Pete is often at the helm of large Championships such as the IFSSDA World Championships which were last held in Paris in 2018 as part of the 10. Gay Games.
He also regularly supports the European Championships and has been an active board member of the United Kingdom Equality Dance Council (UKEDC), European Same-Sex Dance Association (ESSDA), and the Federation of Gay Games (FGG).
Pete also organises two equality dance competitions here in the UK: the ‘UK Equality Open’ and the ‘Equality Fun Competition’. He supports both the social and competitive dancers and works voluntarily for Out4Dance and Out4Sport to promote equality dancing around the UK.
He brings to the board a wealth of experience as an Operations Director for Compass Group UK & Ireland and will assist in driving the organisation forward – focusing specifically on diversity, sustainable growth, and enhanced stakeholder relationships.
