I think she's here a lot this year because of her reunion with Paul; after all, they must practise lots !

All the better for me !

Yearly income = £300,000

Then add on all the sponsors, appearance fees, and balls etc, etc and you have to say she could probably never have to work again if she didn't want to.

In all fairness, she has made the most of her talent, and put it to good use.

Karen judges too - she was at one of our comps last year. She didn't like our Latin

Noo dont move to South Africa, gorgeous place but it seems to be going a bit erm ... downhill

Some of my family are from South Africa, but I've never actually been there myself . . . yet!

There is a huge attraction for me over there now, however!

My God, imagine us both being in the same room together at the same time as we were both in crazy person mode !

That very nearly happened in October . . . but I just had to do with making a prat of myself alone .

And I thoroughly adored every second of it !

This year, this year . . . !

Lucky so and so My friend and I have ended up having to go on the 24th as no tickets left for the 25th ... well I could book one ticket but not 2

Out of interest what are you wearing as Im really baffled as what would be appropriate

Also do you think Brendan would be likely to be there?

Ahhh sorry so many questions

wewll, I've never had a private lesson from a top professional. But I would imagine my teacher would be just as good. Not as good a dancer perhaps, but on par teaching wise? And he charges a fraction of the rate!! 5 lessons with Dean or one with Karen? I know what I'd prefer!!

Becca and I met at night of 100 stars but we already knew each other before that.

And Melalemmie I am not sure yet but me and my friend will probably wear something like black trousers with a pretty top.

It obviously has something to do with the status and experience of the dancer as Ryan who teaches at Karens class charges £40 per hour for a private lesson .

But he has only just turned professional ( about 18 months ago ) and Karen has years of experience

Also Karen is a much better teacher than any of the others at her class.

She just knows instinctively how to get the best out of you

She teaches in Kent, so it's a good train journey or four away!

I've been to a few of Karen's lessons and go to Izabela's group lessons which are amazingly priced.

I also think group lessons with the pros are priced incredibly well (especially being a student) and I hope when I finish uni for the summer and can drive, that I can go to more of Karen's lessons.

I'd also love a lesson with one of the pros, not necessarily Karen because her group lessons are just as good to be honest.

And it also helps if you like the pro you're being taught by

I have never been to I-Dance as yet . . . however, who knows what the future may hold! Based on that, I don't think that we have met.
