Stott
You are well known in the Line dance world but can you tell me about growing up and a little of your background before Line dance?
I started dancing when I was nine, tap,
ballet etc. We were always in shows and pantomimes, I used to teach all my friends at school at break time what I had been taught the day before! When I was about 16 I moved onto Ballroom and Latin and it wasn’t long before I trained to teach, starting with childrens classes and then moving up to helping in adult classes and eventually teaching private lessons. We put on many shows with Wilmslow Dance School, I loved my time there.
What do you think makes a good dancer?
A good dancer is someone who enjoys
the music and expresses rhythm and style.
When did you decide to take your interest further and become a choreographer/instructor?
Well, I have always been a choreographer and instructor so it came naturally to want to take it into the Line dance world.
Where and how do you fi nd inspiration to choreograph a dance?
First of all it’s the music that inspires
me and the steps will come into my mind at certain points of the music and then I choreograph around them.
In your opinion, what is your biggest achievement?
Four Crystal Boots! One for Rising
Star, one for Intermediate Dance of the Year with ‘Forever And A Day, two for Intermediate Dance of the Year plus Dance of the Year with ‘Don’t Feel Like Dancing’.
What are your dreams for the future?
I would love to win Choreographer of the year and to be in the Hall of Fame.
