Kay started her dance career at the age of four, just as little sister Sally was entering the world! As a youngster, she regularly entered into local dance festivals and competitions and performed in shows and pantomimes.

Her love of performance has been a major factor in Kay's continued involvement in dance - she caught 'the bug' at fifteen in her first amateur show at Leeds Grand Theatre, and was an original member of the Damuus Dance company with whom she performed for four years.

Kay took her teaching qualification at just eighteen, before pursuing an academic career at Leicester University. In her spare time as a student, Kay founded a Tap Dance Society where she taught classes each week and was also Chairman of the Modern Dance Society.

Kay has also directed and choreographed a musical and choreographed a charity fashion show. She is currently on the committee of Harrogate St Andrew's Players and can regularly be seen in leading roles in their shows.
