Mandy Montanez


Country
UK - Season 1

Eliminated on:
February 6, 2010 - Top 6

Age: 31
From: Maryland, USA
Style: Jazz / Contemporary

A self-confessed chatterbox who lives her life by the motto "happiness is something you earn".

Originally from Maryland, Mandy moved to the UK eight years ago after meeting her husband when she was dancing on a cruise ship. Her work has included dancing in the recent run of X Factor live shows and the 2007 series, plus being one of the lead dancers in Cheryl Cole's current music video "3 Words".

She loves teaching and has a passion for working with talented young dancers – something she does regularly in the Ukraine and Russia where she works as a tutor in the "Drive Dance Project" which involves teaching Eastern European celebrities to dance.

Mandy heard about the competition in February and, hoping it would come to the UK, got herself back into class and became focused on becoming a contender for Britain's favourite dancer.
