Daniel Cairney, 15, from South Bank has boogied his way to national glory becoming British Championship Dancer of the Year with partner Charlotte Brown, aged 13. He took his first steps into disco and rock ‘n’ roll at the tender age of three. Ever since then, Daniel has been strutting his stuff and has won more than 100 trophies. The young talented freestyle dancer trains four times a week, polishing his
fancy foot work, spending most of his time rehearsing for competitions; he
doesn’t have time to play football – his other passion. |
