If at five years old Katie Malone had a crystal ball to see into the future she would have undoubtedly burst with joy. Like most girls her age she had just started dance lessons .
But while the fantasy of performing in front of huge crowds at iconic venues remains nothing more than an unattainable dream for most young dancers it became a reality for Katie. Amazingly the now 21-year-old has become the first Welsh woman to dance at the Moulin Rouge in Paris – the world's most famous cabaret.
Katie said it all started when her mum enrolled her into Ambitions Dance Centre in Wrexham which she attended until she was 16. Although dancing was just a hobby for her at that point Katie said her love for the sport inspired her to take it more seriously.
