I am Charlie Manley.

I am 18 years old from Bedfordshire, England. 

I started dancing 10 years ago and it has been the one and only constant thing in my life. 

Dance for me is everything, it has given me confidence and I have built my whole lifestyle around it.

I started in Street Dance and have knowledge in most of the main styles under that umbrella. 

When I was 16 I went and studied at Stella Mann Collage Of Performing Arts. 

I trained in all styles of dance such as Ballet, Tap, Contemporary and Commercial. 

I also did Acting, Singing and Musical Theatre. 

From being taught commercial at college and by the power of the internet, I soon became very into the commercial side of dance and started to take classes in this style. 

From a young age it was a dream of mine to be dancing behind a big name and touring the world. 

This has now become more of an obsession and a goal which I push myself towards everyday. 

I have friends who are doing this currently and these people inspire me even more! 

I feel I need to put myself out there more and learn from various different people and this is why I am now here at The Hip Drop!!!
