Leave it all on the floor...
Queen of Latin Ballroom, Shirley Ballas has a spectacular dance career spanning over 40
years - she has Cha-Cha'd her way across the world's dance floors to become a multiaward-winning ballroom champion and one of the most renowned dancers in the world. In
1996, Shirley retired from competitive dancing to become a highly-acclaimed coach and
now holds the enviable position of Head Judge on BBC One's prime time show Strictly
Come Dancing.
In Behind the Sequins, she leads us through her dramatic and determined life, from
growing up in a rough estate on the Wirral and leaving home at 14 years old, to
conquering the high-octane world of ballroom and coping with betrayal, bullying, two
broken marriages and a personal tragedy that left Shirley and her family devastated. You
will also find golden nuggets of advice throughout the book, borne out of the endless
curveballs life has thrown her way.
Speaking from the heart, Shirley leaves her fur coat and dancing shoes at the door to tell
you the story of a fiery, strong-willed grafter who could make the brat pack blush.
