MEET FREYA: Hi I’m Freya, I’m 12 years old and I live in Berkshire. I have been dancing since I was 3 and joined gymnastics when I was 5. I have been dancing competitively with Berkshire Dance Academy since I was 5 years old. The classes I take are ballet, modern, tap, acro, jazz and lyrical. My favourite styles are acro and jazz. I also attend Colburn Performance Academy where I train in musical theatre, this includes singing, dancing and acting. I am also an associate for Elite Acro Dance Associates. I have been lucky enough to experience lots of amazing things including being selected as a dance school to perform in Disneyland Paris and getting through to the final round of All England dance competition with my modern solo. For the last two years I have represented Team England at the Dance World Cup. My team and I placed 2nd in the Acro section in 2021 and 2022. We are also representing Team England again this year!

WHAT'S IN YOUR DANCE BAG: In my dance bag there are yoga blocks, stretch bands and ankle weights.

FAVE ACRO MOVE: My favourite acro move is a back layout because it is a great way to finish different combinations.

WHO IS YOUR HERO: Serena Mccall really inspires me because she is such an amazing dancer and a really nice person. I would love to be as amazing as her one day!

ON MY REST DAY: When I’m not dancing I like to go shopping, to the cinema or playing online games with my friends. I also like to spend time with my 7 guinea pigs!
