This is great! I just wanted to let you know there are also competitions in France. If you do solo dance, join the Coupe des Druides Facebook group and you'll be in the loop for the competitions on this side of the channel (I'm on there, so there are other anglophones, and the group is really open and nice).
I'm in the process of helping the organizers translate the announcements, and I know that the skaters here would love it if more from Britain would show up. I did my first competition this year and had an absolute blast. I speak french, but wasn't even the only anglophone!
I only do solo dance, and we have two competitions/year: the Coupe des Druides in Late January (in recent years has been held in Toulouse, but may change), and the Fontenay Cup held in Late April (generally in the Paris region).
Both comps are open to preliminary and above dancers, so if you can skate the required pattern dances you're invited! If you're pre-bronze and above you can present a freedance program as well.
