Lloyd & Anna – Passion, Precision and the Power of Latin
At the recent UK Open Dance Festival, DSI Elite performers Lloyd & Anna delivered a passionate and compelling performance, reaching the Semi Final of the Amateur Latin — a result that reflects their continued rise among the most exciting Latin couples of their generation.
Latin dancing demands intensity, emotional connection and fearless expression, and Lloyd & Anna brought all of this to the floor. Their performance was bold, musical and fiercely expressive — a perfect balance of precision and personality.

A Complete Couture Couple Look – Made in London
As sponsors of Lloyd & Anna, it is always a particular privilege for us to create both outfits as a unified couture vision. Designing the man’s shirt and the lady’s dress under one roof allows us to build a truly cohesive couple aesthetic, one that feels organic, balanced and unmistakably refined.
Anna's dress was designed in close collaboration with our designer Svetlana and handmade in our South London studio, reflecting our ongoing commitment to Made in London production.
Lloyd – Clean Lines, Strong Character
For the early rounds, Lloyd wore a couture black mesh Latin shirt, finished with a velvet mandarin-style collar and velvet cuffs. The raglan sleeve construction gave the silhouette freedom and athletic clarity, simple, sharp and powerful.
For the Semi Final, he changed into a custom white mesh shirt featuring Genova stripe panels and velvet detailing, paired with bespoke hematite Barcelona trousers with tab detailing and a silver buckle, echoing Anna’s dress and reinforcing the couple’s unified visual identity.
Anna – Fiery Elegance in Gold and Hematite
Anna’s Latin dress embodied movement, energy and dramatic contrast.
Her gold mesh version was adorned with Crystal Sunrise stones, layered chains and stoned strings, with gold beads added to enhance rhythm and dynamic motion across every action. For the Semi Final, the same design evolved into a striking hematite mesh interpretation, stoned in hematite and crystal tones, darker, edgier and intensely powerful under competition lighting.
Designed by Svetlana and handmade in London, the dress captured the essence of modern Latin styling: bold, emotional and unapologetically expressive.

Premium Mesh – Performance Without Compromise
Both outfits relied on our high-performance stretch mesh, sourced and produced in Italy to ensure durability, flexibility and flawless recovery. Selected for professional competition wear, this fabric allows freedom of movement while maintaining a refined silhouette, a key element in creating couture Latin designs, that perform as beautifully as they look.
