Val started Ballroom & Latin American dancing at the age of 6 in Cambridge. Working her way through the medal system over the next few years.

Like Chris, she took medals dancing as man as well as lady, always good training for a future teacher. In 1991 Val qualified with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing.
