A WIRRAL company which is tapping into the popular pastime of line dancing is stepping up the pace through the guidance and support of Business Link, with a new modern disco line dance routine fondly known as 'The Beast'!

Wallasey-based 'Houston Hustlers' were founded two years ago by Rob Fowler to teach Line Dancing in sports centres throughout the region.

Rob, who holds the titles of both the European singles and couples line dancing champion, first turned to Business Link with his initial idea.

With the combination of Rob's talents and Business Link's advice, Houston Hustlers was turned into a fast-moving venture.

A trip to the USA inspired Rob to find his feet in the business world by teaching line dancing to students from beginners to advanced, with many progressing to competition level.

His latest venture is the choreography of 'The Beast', which has developed a world-wide popularity among line dancing fans.

Said Rob: "I have used all the Business Link services available to me and the support I have received has been excellent. I know that whatever difficulty or problem the business faces, there is always a team of experts ready to help me."

For help, advice and support to turn your ideas into a viable new business or want to know more about the full range of Business Link Wirral services, call 650-6900.
