ABOUT ME

Inspired by Madonna, Kirsty Swain from Sutton, Surrey, went to the Brits School and the Laine Theatre Arts training in various dance styles including jazz, contemporary, as well as singing, drama and musical theatre.

After completing her studies, she performed alongside Frank Bruno in a panto and began auditioning for everything she could.

At 12, Kirsty was diagnosed with partial deafness, never-the-less, with only half her hearing, she persevered by feeling the vibrations and listening to the beat.

The 29 year old has had a vast performing career, she has performed on cruise ships, taught at the Royal Academy of Dance and has appeared in Mama-Mia, featuring Meryl Streep.

She believes So You Think You Can Dance may be her last chance to achieve her ultimate dream of performing in the West End with a lead role.

Once seeing the show she knew it was for her as she would get the chance to show off her various styles of dance.
