From the gutter to the stars…

Dance is in my blood.

It’s what keeps me sane, out of trouble. It used to keep them out of trouble too.

A group of boys I grew up with.

Xeno, York, Zayn and Dax.

We were a crew once and we ruled the clubs.

Separate we were insanely good, together we were unbeatable. F*&ing on fire.

I was their girl and they were my Breakers.

Until they did something they promised they never would; break my heart.

We were sixteen when they left me.

You see, for kids like us, dance was all we had.

Growing up in a rundown housing estate in London with no prospects can make you view the world differently.

It can make you choose the wrong path.

I chose dance, and they chose crime.

Three years later I’ve won a scholarship to Stardom Academy. I try to forget my past.

But how can I do that when the four boys who hurt me are back?

And this time they won’t walk away even when I ask them too.
