I joined Ipswich School of Dance last year in an adult beginners class, I have been doing it for six months now, with the help from Sue and Georgina. I wouldn't be where I am today without the support and experience from them.

I really loved learning the basics with Georgina teaching me the steps at my own pace and got quicker as I went a long. I love Strictly as it's my favourite programme and My favourite thing I love to do is dancing.

When Sue asked if I would like to get involved in Strictly Charity I jumped at the chance of this incredible opportunity to Improve my dancing skills and show people what I can do and race money for a great, amazing Charity (Inspire Suffolk) . would love to help to raise money for this charity as they support young people and young adults with disabilities and adults with disabilities. they can do even more. So please help me through this Journey and sponsor me by your donations. It will be much appreciated thank you.

Looking forward to this experience and with my dancing partner to is teaching me more cha cha steps to improve my dancing.

I've been partnered up with my lovely, amazing Friend Lorna and we dancing the Cha cha. can't wait for our strictly Journey Together.

This me and Lorna practising dancing and using our professional arms ready for strictly show time. I’m doing this in loving memory of My acting Director Joanna Carrick and doing this for her as she will be looking down and so proud of me and she was a inspiration as I wouldn’t be who I am today. Will miss her dearly. I miss you Jo and I love you forever and always.
