邁克爾 & 喬安娜 8 次贏了英國公開賽和......但那不是這令人驚嘆的黃昏只重大時刻的到來。下面是從這真信是他們被加冕為英國冠軍的傳說：

親愛的舞蹈的家庭。不說再見吧。
...
我們不須退休。我們活著不掉我們的退休金計劃。
跳舞就像我們的詩歌。每次運動是一個詞。
我們已經對它上癮。
是的我們肯定將會錯過比賽，但...
我們有新的東西的味道。
今晚我們比以往更加意識到時間過得真快。
大約 15 年前，我們都贏了我們在這舞廳的第一個標題。
感覺那些時刻是在昨天。
今晚是我們的快樂時光。
我們很高興在這里跳舞我們最后的競爭。
最優雅的舞廳。
與偉大的現場音樂表演。
我們很高興我們感到你的愛和支持。多年來。
謝謝你們所有的努力。
和"謝謝你"親愛的爸爸媽媽。
沒有你的愛和支持......好吧你明白我們的意思。
非常特別的感謝，對何塞： 你有那么多我們的媽媽。
我們也要感謝我們英國的團隊：
Alan 和榛樹、 米克和洛娜，洛林、 格雷厄姆、 Paul、 理查德、 DSI、 Supadance 和Vesa 設計。
沒有了你一切，我們不可能做到。
另一種真誠的感謝您去我們荷蘭的"郁金香"，彼得和 Max，總是在那里為我們從一開始。
毫無疑問我們最大的謝謝你一定要去...呂吉。
我們總覺得他是和我們一起為完整的 100%。
老實說： 這并不總是那么容易。
親愛的呂，你是我們的英雄。在舞蹈和生活中。
女士們，先生們，
我們很高興與你分享的這一刻。
我們離開你的感覺。
因此，讓我們不說再見
但是，這么說吧謝謝你。

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.
