Alice Bowen arrived at NSCD with classic ballet-tap-modern training and a perfect competition smile. But all that’s left of that fresh-faced girl from Sunny Tunny is her unhealthy obsession with brunch. After 3 years of intense contemporary dance training, Alice has discovered that she doesn’t actually like dance that much and if given the opportunity in a performance setting will opt for a chair (wheelie chair, sofa, armchair…preferably a bed…) If she’s not complaining about something irrelevant then you’ll find Alice waddling the corridors sporting an interesting selection of charity shop garments, a look she likes to call ‘Granny Chic’. One of the biggest things Alice has learnt from NSCD is accepting who she is; much of this she credits to working with The Hiccup Project who really helped her embrace the fact that she’s a weirdo with 66 inches of leg. Alice has also spent her time in Leeds developing her domestic skills, often choosing the pastry aisle in Waitrose over the ballet barre in Studio 2. It’s safe to say that she likes to be known as nothing less than the hostess with the mostest. Next year at home with Dom and Linda she will continue being her quirky self as she undergoes the expansion of her herb garden and completes her Great British Bake Off Application.
