Kimberley Mitchell comes from a Ballroom family with both parents still teaching dance in London, England. At the age of 5, she began to compete in both International Standard and Latin competitions throughout England. It wasn’t long before she was taking title after title.

Kimberley is a former British Open, International, UK Open and Closed British Champion. Furthermore, she has won many championship titles along the way in all age groups in both Standard and Latin.
