“I want to dance. Not teach, but perform”

HOW DID YOU GET INTO DANCE?

Through gymnastics. I was quite young when I started, and it gave me a great strength base and flexibility.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TYPE OF DANCE?

Deep down, I love cheesy jazz! I love all that! I’ve just seen Hot Gossip for the first time and I love it. I want to be in Hot Gossip.

WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST DANCING FEAR?

Not doing my best. Because I’m hard on myself and I want to show my best every time – I hate messing up.

BEST PHYSICAL FEATURE?

People say it’s my butt! But I think it’s my legs.

WHAT’S YOUR WORST HABIT IN DANCE?

My thumbs. I get a lot of tension in my hands and they stick out.

WHAT’S BEEN YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT ON STAGE?

I have a lot! But the worst would have to be when I was 14 doing a tap solo on stage. The floor was already slippery and they put Mr Muscle on there, which made it ten times worse! I fell down about 25 times but I wouldn’t give up. I had a sprained ankle but refused to leave the stage – they literally had to drag me off.

WHY DID YOU ENTER THE COMPETITION?

For a challenge. To see how far I could go and what I could do. And because it’s stressful and exciting – I crave that in my life.
