@londonbeautifullife - "When did you first start dancing and what made you so passionate about being a dancer?"

Brendon Hansford - "I first started dancing when I was 18 which I know is quite late for a dancer but I got hooked on it so fast that I just couldn't stop. It's really hard to explain where the passion comes from but it's the feeling you get when you dance that just makes you want more and more".

@londonbeautifullife - "How did the DNACERS online service come about?" Brendon Hansford - "Well the idea of DNACERS actually appeared before lockdown and this pandemic just sped up what was already been planned. There was definitely a gap in the market for something of this level and we believe that we are the company to fill it. We have so much more to come".

@londonbeautifullife - "You have worked with the likes of Sam Smith, Rod Stewart, Normani, and Rick Astley. Who has been your favourite star to work with and why?"

Sam Smith (@samsmith) and Brendon Hansford (@brendon_hansford / @dnacers_official)

Normani (@normani) and Brendon Hansford (@brendon_hansford / @dnacers_official)

Brendon Hansford - "I know this sounds like a complete cop-out but I couldn't pick a favourite as I genuinely loved working with all of them and felt very privileged to be in that position. However there is a great story that of me standing outside of being on a shoot with Sam Smith and drinking a cup of tea with him in plastic cups… I remember after this thinking when do things like this ever happen?" @londonbeautifullife - "Where in London do you love to train?" Brendon Hansford - "I love to train at Base Dance Studios in Vauxhall where I also teach my classes every Saturday. They have a wide range of absolutely incredible teachers and choreographers and you can pretty much find anything you want in one place". @londonbeautifullife - "Which London venue would you love to perform at?" Brendon Hansford - "Well my performance career slowed right down when I became a choreographer full time. One of the theatres I would love to perform at is the Palladium as it is an incredible theatre… I did however get to choreograph a piece for the royal variety performance in 2018 at the Palladium, so that was definitely a goal of mine".
