About Us
Saturn Dance is run by Darren Jones and Lucilla Scott-Jones. Between them they have over 35 years’ dance experience, as dancers, competitors and teachers. They are both qualified ballroom teachers and associate members of the IDTA (International Dance Teachers' Association). Darren and Lucilla are married and live in Cardiff.
Darren has been dancing since the age of seven. He competed as a juvenile, junior and amateur, and by the age of 23 had made the top 24 amateur dancers in the UK. He danced on the Ystrad Fawr Formation Teams for 14 years, during which time they won the British Formation Championships on four occasions, and consistently ranked amongst the top twelve in the World.
Darren has been involved in a number of TV programmes and several films, appearing in Come Dancing, The Generation Game and Children in Need, and notably in the recent BBC series Torchwood, with Lucilla.
Lucilla fell in love with dancing when she was 15. Once she got to university she danced on the Cardiff University Dance Team for many years, and was President and Captain of the club during her time there. In 2002-3 she won every university competition in her team dance, with Darren, becoming the National Inter-Varsity Champions 2003 and securing an historic three-way tie for first place for Cardiff University Dance Team.
Lucilla and Darren are the main teachers at the Cardiff University Dance Club and coach the university team.
