David Trueman:  Midlands Open Championships "They produce such dance precision in all departments. Timothy has improved in posture production maintaining his chosen style continuously. As with all leading Ballroom specialists their togetherness is never forsaken. Contact is not easy to maintain but must be achieved and this they do with skill and knowledge."

Paul Beeton: "So elegant and stylish showing their superb classical flair. They perform now with a stronger  positive personality which adds enormously for the viewer. Individual interpretation of each dance throughout."

"Howson -  Bolton (England),  classical approach which is always so very appealing as they protected the correct usage of feet and ankles, coupled to fine understanding of the correct motion, including a wise interpretation of rise and fall, and controlled sways. Joanne has adopted a new stance and it adds glamour and projection as it has been developed to increase the distance between their heads and it works."
 

"The Waltz showed English Style at its best with elegant timing from Howson. The Tango of Timothy and Joanne has changed completely over the last few months and has emerged as one of the best in the world. Awesome!"

"The Waltz was very interesting to watch, right at the start of this dance was the comparison of Timothy and Christopher’s half natural turn. They danced this next to each other and although both showed excellence of swing, sway, footwork, etc, it was Timothy who came out of it later. Draw your own conclusions on that one…"

"Timothy and Joanne are superb Foxtrotters and I find it difficult to see how this brilliant couple can dance it any better to get better marks! Timothy and Joanne have developed a real gutsy Tango and they really meant business tonight. Their progressive link in their opening sequence was breathtaking- I thought Joanne’s neck would snap!! Quickstep saw Timothy and Joanne in Promenade running and skipping along the side of the floor, slid about twenty feet to a stop to do some intricate business on the spot. Excellent."

Harry Smith-Hampshire reporting on UK Professional Standard: Timothy Howson & Joanne Bolton: "Timothy, ever since a juvenile, has always aimed at the classic in style. Timothy & Joanne have a series, dedicated approach to dancing. You might quite rightly describe them as purists, who place a high value on the traditions of correct technique, clarity on line and high-quality smoothness of movement. They are most comfortable in dealing with the respective dance characterisations of Waltz, Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz, (in which latter dance they can produce a repetitive series of fast tuning and technically correct Fleckerls second to none). They have a bright traveling Quickstep. Perhaps the dance in need of an injection of the flair that comes naturally to the Italians is Tango."
