From a Birmingham barre to a courtyard in Jerez.

K. M. Pritchard was born in Birmingham, UK, and began dancing at the age of six. After performing on stage and television, she trained as a ballet teacher at the Royal Academy of Dance. Since 1992 she has been joyfully passing on her passion for dance to children and young adults, many of whom have gone on to shine on stages of their own.

In the early nineties she fell head over heels (but very gracefully) for flamenco, a love affair that eventually drew her to Andalucia. She now lives in Jerez de la Frontera.

When she is not writing or teaching, you will find her enjoying live music, hanging with her creative friends, or curled up at home with her cat, PJ Harvey.
