“Charlotte began dancing at the age of three; it is all she ever wanted to do. She would dance anywhere and everywhere. No-one could come to our house without her encouraging them to dance or her putting on a show.
“Her dream from a young age was to become a dance teacher. She was fulfilling that dream having auditioned a year early at the age of 17 for the Dance College and was blessed to be able to dance and teach. She was a talented and beautiful dancer who was so elegant and graceful when she performed. Our proudest moments and fondest memories will be of watching her dance.
