About Flavia
I started dancing thanks to my mother whose ambition, if she had been allowed, was to be a dancer. She took me at the age of five, together with my sister who is six years older, to a local dance school in Guildford, at the time called 'hurleys dance school'. Without her knowing it was a very good ballroom and Latin dance studio, many couples travelled from all over the world to have lessons there.
I worked my way up through many many exams from the age of five till around fouteen which is when one of the teachers suggested I go into competitive dancing. Previously I had two dance partners with whom I danced for about a year each, and slowly acclimatised myself to the differences of competitive dance. It was at this point Vincent and I were introduced, and to find out the rest of the story go to 'about us' history.
On Life...
When we are not performing, we are developing choreography, practicing, running classes and when we can, holding private lessons. I like to get down to the gym. I enjoy relaxing there, using the jacuzzi, sauna, and steam rooms. I enjoy television, particularly DIY programmes - lots of tips to be gained there!
I am also Patron of three charities, Home Start, a charity helping families with young children that has run into financial difficultes. The Fountain Centre a charity based in the St Luke's Cancer Centre at Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford that supports people living with cancer. Danceaid is a new and exciting charity that harnesses the energy of dance to transform the lives of vulnerable children.
If I wasn´t dancing, I´d like to be involved with animals Perhaps something along the lines of a dog behaviorist, or a trainer. I´ve always found that kind of thing interesting.

On Vincent...
He is a bit of a flirt, but we have a saying in Italian that translates to, "the dog that barks never bites". He is a very typical Italian man - a charmer in many ways. He´s passionate, fun, and entertaining. It can be funny to see how people react to him in different ways. Oh, and he can dance some steps too!
