Ian is a big softy, though you might not get that at first.

Ian’s journey into dancing started later in life when Lindsey bullied him along to a class in York, England. It didn’t take long for Ian to become hooked, though he didn’t want to admit it straight away. After popping the question, and getting a yes from Lindsey, it was time to revisit the dancing front back home in Tasmania. While the initial goal was “don’t look silly on our wedding day”, it was quickly apparent this was going to become a mainstay of the Little household.

In 2017, 12 months after purchasing Long-Steps, Ian left his position at the University of Tasmania to work for Long-Steps fulltime. Ian now holds several Comdance diplomas for dance teaching, and enjoys bringing a scientific approach to dancing to help people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and mobility levels dance to their full potential.

After teaming up with Lindsey and representatives from Comdance to develop the Stream 2 award system for New Vogue, Ian is currently helping to develop the Steam 2 Comdance award system for Modern Ballroom. Ian enjoys the challenge of teaching dances without a sequence and believes in a balanced teaching approach of figures, technique, theory, and practice.

When not dancing, Ian enjoys a range of activities, but cannot go past a good red with a movie after a hard day on the dancefloor.
