Steve Turok
Steve "2Rock" lives and breathes acrobatic rock 'n' roll. He began teaching the sport in 1991 as a qualified coach in Slovakia, training couples ranging from beginners to finalists of World and European Cups. Following a move to the UK, Steve started coaching the Cambridge University Acrobatic Rock 'n' Roll team in 2009 and has run his own club, 2Rock, based in London. In addition to coaching, Steve has a wealth of dancing experience. As a World Cup quarter-finalist, he has performed and competed in over 10 countries, representing Slovakia and later the UK with his partner Laura. He thoroughly enjoys embedding Slavic tracks to warm-ups and rocking away.

Laura graduated with a Mathematics degree from the University of Cambridge in 2006. It was during her undergraduate studies that she joined the Cambridge University Acrobatic Rock ’n’ Roll team in 2005. Three years later, Laura established a partnership with Steve which led to many international competitions, stage performances and even the occasional TV appearance.
