Based in Hong Kong, James teaches dance as well as dancing professionally. James describes his teaching style as patient but straightforward and to the point, and he won't be afraid to speak his mind as he would really love to win.

"If anyone says they aren't in it to win it, they are lying - because that's ultimately what everyone wants. I believe I can win – I think I might just do it!"
