MEET ELLIE: I'm 19 years old, I started dancing at the age of 2 and have had a love for Acro from an early age. My biggest achievement so far is becoming Acro World Champion in 2022 and Acro duet World Champion in 2019 & 2020. Additionally at DWC 20/21 I won 1 silver medal and 3 bronze medals. I’ve also won a number of titles but hearing the national anthem playing during the medal ceremony made me feel so proud! 

WHAT'S IN YOUR DANCE BAG: You will always find deodorants and sprays in my dance bag along with stretch bands, weights and a number different dance shoes.

FAVE ACRO MOVE: When I am not affraid to do it a bounce back but I love a move I created on my own which is a straight back with one leg in retire.

WHO IS YOUR HERO: my mum
