What made you want to sign up to represent Focus foundation?
I saw the people that did it last year and it inspired me to want to do it. I think
Do you have any history of dancing?
I have only ever danced at parties and discos – never professionally. But I am looking forward to learning.
Which dance would you like to do?
I honestly don’t have a clue. I will be happy with whatever I am given because I trust the professional’s judgement.
How are you feeling about the competition?
I am a little nervous but excited.
Have you any experience in performing for a crowd?
Yes. I always do the Fashion Show for the Friendship Circle and that is always in front of a room full of people.
Have you ever taken part in a competition before?
Not really, but I have done challenges - like cycling and I enjoy the teamwork side of it.
Do you think you will win?
I would be amazed if I did. But if I don’t win it I will be happy that I have taken part.
Do you have a message for the people who will be there raising money for Focus?
Thank you for coming and donating. Focus is a very worthy cause because Focus helps me to live a fulfilling and independent life every day. Without Focus I wouldn’t be living a happy, successful life.

How are you feeling about the competition?
Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. I am nervous to find out what dance ill be doing but I’m excited to get started.
Would you prefer a fast or slow dance?
I’ve looked online at both but I think I would prefer a slower dance. I think I would be better at that. I don’t think I could do the steps with the fast steps.
Why are you representing the Focus foundation?
Because I’ve been with the Focus Foundation just under a year. They’re amazing and have helped me so very much so I want to help in any way I can to raise money for them because they deserve it.
Have you any dancing experience.
When I was a kid, I used to be the only boy in the local Tap Dancing Group. I was with all the girls but I enjoyed it.
Do you think you’ll win the competition?
If I did win, it’d be nice but I don’t mind not winning. Taking part and doing it for Focus is enough for me. I’ll have lots of fun so that’s the main thing.
Have you ever done anything on stage before?
When I was a child I did performances with school and a few shows with the children I did tap dancing with.
How do you think you’ll feel performing in front of all the crowd?
Nervous but excited.
