"I would not have been able to attend CAT without the financial support DfE gave. It’s incredibly important that these pots of money exist as they break down barriers and enable everybody to partake in excellent training. The CAT scheme was fundamental in my journey. I would not have been able to attend if it wasn’t for the amazing financial support I received from the scheme.

"Furthermore, the current Weston Jerwood Bursary I am on is designed for young people who are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. If it wasn’t for these opportunities, I would not have achieved anything I have so far. If you have the passion and the desire to achieve something, your upbringing, gender or race shouldn't be a barrier to this."

Reece started dancing at the age of 7, originally training in Ballroom and Latin American and competed for the UK for just under 10 years.
