Vincent
All of my family are dancers - my parents are professional teachers in both Ballroom and Latin, and my sister is currently studying at University, although dances herself, teaching street dance, hip hop and aerobics in her spare time.
I have taught dancing since the age of twelve, in Italy. From there, I moved to Guildford when I was seventeen and was teaching both here and in Italy for a few years. I greatly enjoy the teaching, and I hope this comes across in lessons. I have a real passion for dance, and I believe that hard work can go a long way.
My favourite dance is a hard one to pick, but I like the moody dances best. The Rumba, Argentine Tango, and ballroom Tango are all up there amongst my favourites. Sometimes it depends on the day - the mood, the venue, and the music. A lot of dance is about feeling the music.

On Life...
My main hobby is my love of cars - fast cars! I´m very flashy and a typical Italian man so I love fast, flash cars. The flashier the better! My dream is to own a Ferrari one day and who knows, if I am partnered with a very rich celebrity on Strictly Come Dancing and we win, they might buy me one!
On a day to day basis, I like to do ´normal´ things. I say normal, because this surprises some people. I like to try and keep fit at the gym, watch some television, and I quite enjoy working with computers. It may seem strange, but because we are so busy with dancing, the best things to relax with are those we don´t get much time to do.
If I wasn´t dancing, I think I would be involved with computers in some way, as I can pick things up reasonably quickly without being taught.
On Flavia...
She is elegant, beautiful, and she has a great personality... She can dance a little, too!
