DanceX Finalist: Ife Kuku

Before joining DanceX, 22-year-old Ife worked as an account manager for a chartered accountancy firm. Born to a Nigerian mother in the UK, Ife was adopted at six-weeks-old by a family from Milton Keynes who also adopted five other children as well as having two children of their own, making it a very large family. Ife was born with two extra fingers, which were removed shortly after her birth.

Her love of dance began when she was nine, after her mother took her to the local dance centre. She has had basic vocal training and auditioned for DanceX because there has never been the opportunity for her to combine dancing and singing in the past.
