Family Life
Hollie grew up in Ludlow in Shropshire. After a spell in London, she moved back to be with her family and boyfriend, Bruno.
Got to Dance
Hollie was a gymnast from the ages of 6-13, she won a bronze medal on the vault at the British Championships. However, Hollie slipped a disc and was told she had to give up or she would end up in a wheelchair. She had always enjoyed floor routines so thought she would enjoy dance. She now dances with her boyfriend, Bruno.
A couple of times a week Hollie and Bruno teach dance as an extra curricular activity for the pupils at Preston Manor High School.
Her Partner
Hollie originally auditioned with her dance partner and boyfriend Bruno at the London regional auditions. He didn't make it through but he encouraged her to carry on and on the third day of the London recalls she was partnered with Darrien, who, after Bruno, was her ideal choice.
Living in the Mansion
Hollie doesn't know what living in the Dance Mansion is going to be like. She is really unsure about what to expect. But she is looking forward to the expert training and learning all the different styles of dance.
Going Live
Hollie's goal is to progress as a dancer as much as possible. If she won the competition it would mean the world to her and boost her self belief. She would pay off all her debts and try to set up a dance school.
Dance Idols
Hollie's biggest influence is Levell Smith Junior. She is also inspired by the French girls from the Nikewoman advert.
