Shirley Ballas

Shirley Ballas caught the dancing bug at the age of seven and has been involved in the world of competitive dancing ever since.

She is also the only dancer to win the Professional Latin program of the British Open with two different partners, and as of 2022, remains the youngest female to ever reach the ‘British Open to the World Dance Championship finals.
