Candy Cox – Junior Ensemble Associate Choreographer

As the daughter of dance teacher, Pat Steel, it was inevitable that Candy would attend classes as soon as she could walk which she did and loved every minute of it. She won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dance in London when she was 11, as well as attending daily classes at Pat Steel.
At 18, she went to Leicester to study for a BA (Hons) in Performing Arts gaining a wider knowledge of dance and performance skills.

This is her 31st year of directing junior dancers in Maidenhead Pantomimes and her second at Braywick Leisure Centre.
