I guess like many little girls, I wanted to dance! Mum took me as a three year old to dance classes where I began learning Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Ballroom and Latin. Through my teens, I was also a really keen sportsgirl and loved many different sports - without any modesty, I can tell you I was a really kick-ass swimmer!

I love the Quickstep. It's fun, bright and definitely my favourite.
