Glasgow Lives: Julia, 27, London, Professional Dancer

I started dancing relatively late. My mother put me into ballet classes when I was 5 years old, but I was bored and stopped going to them.

My parents took group lessons in Latin, ballroom, and salsa dance classes, when I was 10 or 11 and they would take me with them. I would sit in the corner, and whenever someone was missing, they would let me join in to try the dance.

A conservatory of dance opened in my Spanish hometown, Malaga, teaching musical theatre, all styles of dance, acting and singing. They ran a month's intensive course during the summer and my mother asked if I wanted to try it. From the first day, I knew that this is what I wanted to do. Dancing was my main focus during the course, training for 6 hours every day.
