Biography
Dragos is 16 years old and is from Transylvania, Romania. He begun to dance at the age of 4 because of his sisters influence. Competeing in WDSF Competitions in Romania and Europe, he originally only did Latin, making the Junior Romanian Latin team in 2013. At the age of 15, he moved to England and after 6 months of living here he met Jade. She did 10 dance, so Dragos decided to train in Ballroom. At the point he was living in Derby, however in order to make training easier he moved to Cheltenham where Jade lives, now competing regularly in Youth and Amateur Latin and Ballroom dance.
Jade is 15 years old and is from Cheltenham, England. She started dancing at the age of 4 as her mum danced too, this influenced Jade and so she begun competing in Medalist competitions before moving onto the Open circuit. Due to the ages of both of her previous partners, she unfortunately never finished her Juvenile nor Junior career. However in Bournemouth 2016 at the United Kingdom Championships, she achieved top 3 in both Ballroom and Latin categories in the Junior championships. She met Dragos in February 2017 and they competed for the time in June 2017.
