Hey there guys, my name is Kaz Johnson, I first fell in love with dance after I came 2nd place in a Disco Dance competition, when I was 15 years old. I auditioned for an exchange dance program to dance in America for two weeks, it was then that I knew that this was the career I wanted. I trained in most dance styles and learnt how to lead a dance class and how to get the most out of people. Above all, I achieved the confidence to perform a range of different dance styles.
I auditioned for the Northern school of contemporary dance for a 3 year dance degree where I was awarded a full scholarship to train. I had the best time of my life training every day and working as a 70's dancer for extra cash. After a successful years training, I decided to leave. I then went on to train at Lewisham College. I passed my 2 year course and then went on to London studio centre to further my training.
I then started many classes in pineapple studios and dance works. After 2 years I decided to move back home and began looking for work.
I auditioned for Cardiff Fahrenheit's dance teams. I began training with the team and was then invited to teach at the studios.
