'Strictly Come Dancing' winner Karen Hardy is opening her own dance studio in London.
Hardy, who won the series with Mark Ramprakash in 2006, has established Karen Hardy Studios in Chelsea to cater for the increased demand for dance lessons in the UK.
The World Masters Champion Latin American dancer said: "With the studio I want to take the dance experience to the next level. We cater for everyone, from first-timers to accomplished dancers, couples, individuals and groups, both young and old."
She continued: "This isn't just a dance studio, it's an experience. It's all about luxury, glamour and attention to detail. We want the real experience of dancing to live up to the fantasy and magic that you see on shows like 'Strictly Come Dancing'."
The studio will open on 5 January with the launch on 9 December.
