At the 2023 Global Grand Prix (GGP) for West Coast Swing, one pairing stole the show: Ludovic Pellegrin and Glenn Ball. This dynamic duo clinched the prestigious Jack & Jill (J&J) title in a performance that had everyone talking. Their victory, sponsored by Westy Nantes, left the audience in awe, with a blend of technical skill and sheer charisma that has since cemented their status in the swing dance world. But how did they get there, and what made this win so special?
