迈克尔 & 乔安娜 8 次赢了英国公开赛和......但那不是这令人惊叹的黄昏只重大时刻的到来。下面是从这真信是他们被加冕为英国冠军的传说：

亲爱的舞蹈的家庭。不说再见吧。
...
我们不须退休。我们活着不掉我们的退休金计划。
跳舞就像我们的诗歌。每次运动是一个词。
我们已经对它上瘾。
是的我们肯定将会错过比赛，但...
我们有新的东西的味道。
今晚我们比以往更加意识到时间过得真快。
大约 15 年前，我们都赢了我们在这舞厅的第一个标题。
感觉那些时刻是在昨天。
今晚是我们的快乐时光。
我们很高兴在这里跳舞我们最后的竞争。
最优雅的舞厅。
与伟大的现场音乐表演。
我们很高兴我们感到你的爱和支持。多年来。
谢谢你们所有的努力。
和"谢谢你"亲爱的爸爸妈妈。
没有你的爱和支持......好吧你明白我们的意思。
非常特别的感谢，对何塞： 你有那么多我们的妈妈。
我们也要感谢我们英国的团队：
Alan 和榛树、 米克和洛娜，洛林、 格雷厄姆、 Paul、 理查德、 DSI、 Supadance 和Vesa 设计。
没有了你一切，我们不可能做到。
另一种真诚的感谢您去我们荷兰的"郁金香"，彼得和 Max，总是在那里为我们从一开始。
毫无疑问我们最大的谢谢你一定要去...吕吉。
我们总觉得他是和我们一起为完整的 100%。
老实说： 这并不总是那么容易。
亲爱的吕，你是我们的英雄。在舞蹈和生活中。
女士们，先生们，
我们很高兴与你分享的这一刻。
我们离开你的感觉。
因此，让我们不说再见
但是，这么说吧谢谢你。

Dear dance family. Let's NOT say goodbye.
...
We shall not retire. We shall not live off our pension plan.
Dancing is like poetry for us. And each movement is a word.
We are addicted to it.
Yes, we will surely miss the competition but...
we have a taste for something new.
Tonight we realise more than ever that time really flies.
Some 15 years ago we both won our first titles in this ballroom.
It feels that those moments were only yesterday.
Tonight is a happy time for us.
We are happy to have danced our final competition here.
In the most elegant ballroom of all.
With great live music.
And we are happy we felt all your love and support. For so many years.
Thank you all for that.
And "Thank you" dear parents.
Without your love and support... well you understand what we mean.
And a very special thank you is for Josee: you are so more than our mom.
We also want to thank our British team:
Alan and Hazel, Mick and Lorna, Lorraine, Graham, Paul, Richard,DSI, Supadance and Vesa Design.
We couldn't have done it without you all.
Another sincere thank you goes to our Dutch "Tulips", Peter andMax, for always being there for us from the very beginning.
Without a doubt our biggest thank you must go to...Ruud Vermeij.
We always felt he was with us for a full 100%.
And to be honest: that wasn't always that easy.
Dear Ruud, you are our hero. In dance and in life.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are happy to have shared this moment with you.
We leave you in UP feeling.
So let's NOT say goodbye

but let's just say...thank you.
