Where did you grow up? When did you start dancing? How long have you been partners for?
Philip: I am from Anqing, Anhui. My mother once told me that when I was young I could not stop dancing whenever I heard music! So she took me to a local dance school and when I was 4 years old. When I was 6 my school teacher introduced me to a Latin dance teacher and since then I started dancing Latin.
Joanne: I was born in Baoding, Hebei. I loved the look of Latin dance shoes so much when I was young, that by the age of 7 I learnt to Latin dance!
We have been dance partners for about 5 years.
