Chris & Wes met four years ago at their local gym, where Wes was dancing and Chris was doing work experience. Wes convinced Chris to ditch his cleaning materials and join his dance class – even if they were to be outnumbered by 40 girls.

The pair have been choreographing and dancing together ever since, performing at bar mitzvahs and nightclubs as well as strutting their stuff on stage behind Cheryl Cole when she performed at the Royal Albert Hall for Children In Need.

Despite Chris suffering an ankle injury in early 2010, which resulted in him being out of action for five months, Chris & Wes remain an unstoppable dance force who pass on their extensive knowledge working as freelance teachers.
