00:00Hi everyone, my name is Michele Chaco.
00:02Hi, I'm Lauren Oakley.
00:04Hi everyone, my name is Carlos Go.
00:06Hi, my name is Vito Coppola.
00:09So my favourite dance move is from Samba,
00:12because Samba is my favourite dance,
00:13and it's the figure eight move with the hip action,
00:17with the bounce action.
00:19One, and the two, and the three, and the four, and the five, and the six,
00:23seven, and the eight, and...
00:25So my favourite movement is the badicada,
00:27which originates from the Brazilian Samba,
00:29and I love it because I love to move my hips.
00:38Okay, so my favourite dance move is a cucaracha,
00:40which we dance in the rumba, and I really like it,
00:43because you can feel the flow,
00:45and a cucaracha is a cockroach,
00:47and it's like you're squishing a cockroach under your feet.
00:50That's why I like it.
00:54And my favourite dance moves would be like shaking the shoulders,
00:58you know, the moves can use in so many different types of music.
01:03It's so useful.
01:06Oh my gosh.
01:08That was ages ago.
01:09That was, I...
01:10Probably when I was five or six,
01:14when I was in kindergarten,
01:15and we had a Christmas celebration party.
01:18It was so much fun.
01:19I couldn't remember,
01:20but through that picture,
01:22it brought a lot of memories.
01:27I got into dancing at the age of two,
01:29because my mum was a professional dancer.
01:32The photo of me is actually at Blackpool with her,
01:35in the ballroom,
01:37when I was doing competitions when I was younger,
01:39but a fun fact is she actually won the British Championships
01:43when she was pregnant with me.
01:48So this is a photo of me and my great-grandma,
01:51who I was really close to.
01:53I would always go and see her after my competitions,
01:55and I just loved spending time with her.
01:58She was always really proud of me and my dancing.
02:00And she gave the best hugs.
02:05Actually, it was my first show.
02:07So my first like exhibition to open to all the people
02:10who are like coming to watch me.
02:12So I was quite excited and a bit like nervous.
02:18So it means really a lot for me.
