A young Swindon dancer has bagged her dream job as she joins Revolution Performing Arts to run street dance classes. Beth Cooper, 24, lives in Rodbourne with her boyfriend Jamie and their dog, Rou. She was just four years old when she joined a ballet class and six when she found her niche in Irish dancing. Coming from a large Irish family, she went to classes with her cousin and went on to become a south west champion. When she won a performing arts scholarship in Wiltshire, she learned different styles of dance, contemporary, hip hop, jazz and tap as well as having drama and singing lessons.
