Shirley Ballas x Brass Monkey
The ‘Queen of Latin’ turns Ice Queen
Shirley Ballas is never the finished article. She has a potent survival instinct and relentlessness in her pursuit of success that has earned her world titles and accolades most dancers can only dream of. In a male dominated industry, Shirley fought and won again and again, proving her talent to the world and to all the people who told her she’d never make it.
Today she’s one of the UK’s favourite TV personalities. Head judge on Strictly Come Dancing, dance teacher, Mind Charity ambassador, daughter, mother, grandmother, and at 64, there’s no stopping this powerhouse of a woman.
As the proud new owner of a Brass Monkey, we watch Shirley take her first plunge. Then, we sit down to explore her incredible health and wellbeing journey. We talk about her childhood, her dance career, the menopause experience, how she looks after herself mentally and physically. She even gives us a sneak peak inside her Strictly wardrobe!
