Nottinghamshire dancer is 'living the dream' touring the world with top artists like Camilla Cabello and KSI

A Nottinghamshire dancer who has toured the world with top artists like Camilla Cabello, Ed Sheeran and KSI has shared what it's like being a professional dancer. Kailum Richardson, 23, of Newark, started dancing when he was eight years old and after years of hard work he is currently in the process of moving to America to further his career.

Kailum explained that he started dancing because of the film Step Up and it was through movies that he developed his passion for dancing. He said: "I went to a school in Newark, AJs School of Dance and I was there for five years just taking little classes as obviously that’s all there was in Newark.

"Then I started to venture out towards Nottingham where I was mentored by three people in a group called QMX back in the day." Kailum was then trained by Gareth Woodward and completed "a lot" of his training in Nottingham before he started his five years at Addict Dance Academy in Leicester.
