Join your host, Ashley Verma, on this week's episode of Bizzimumzi as she welcomes the incredible Cordelia Simpson. Cordelia's journey from the dance floors of top artists like Beyoncé, Black Eyed Peas, Tom Jones, Whitney Houston, and 50 Cent to becoming a dedicated mother of four is nothing short of inspiring.
Cordelia's story unfolds as she shares her experiences of studying at the prestigious Italia Conti stage school and the London Studio Centre before diving headfirst into the world of commercial dance. For four remarkable years, she danced alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry, and she's here to spill the behind-the-scenes details.
In 2003, Cordelia became a single mother to her first child, Carma, which added a new layer of complexity to her life. But when love came knocking in the form of her now-husband, Bob, and more children followed, Cordelia made the courageous decision to hang up her dancing shoes to focus on her growing family. Carma, now fifteen, found her own path in showbiz, landing a lead role in CBBC's successful drama 'The Dumping Ground,' where she plays the captivating character 'Candi-Rose.'
Throughout her journey of motherhood, Cordelia pursued her passion for fitness, becoming a qualified fitness instructor and a Les Mills Body Balance teacher. She juggled it all, teaching up to six classes a week and even volunteering her coaching skills at her children's gymnastics club.
