Kate Eloise Whitfield

Ever since Kate was a little girl in a village near Bath, UK, she was dancing around the house. Her talent was spotted quickly, and within a year she had auditioned successfully for the National Youth Ballet. This led to performances at many prestigious events, including one show in front of the Queen at the Royal Albert Hall. At that stage she was aiming to be a classical ballerina, but her figure was too curvaceous for the sylphlike demands of that discipline. But she still loves ballet, watches it when she can, and uses all the techniques of ballet in her current work. Favourite dancing track: the cover of Limp Bizkit's 'Rollin', which is (like Kate) 'very high energy'.
