Katrina Patchett (born 12 December 1986) is a professional ballroom dancer from Perth, Western Australia.
Early life
She has been dancing since the age of three and competing since the age of seven.[citation needed] She was brought up in her mother (Julie Patchett)'s dance studio in Perth, Western Australia, daughter of two internationally successful ballroom dancers[who?] who reached seventh in the world. At age thirteen she became a Western Australian State Champion.[1]
Career
Patchett moved to Europe at the age of 16,[2] living, training and working in Denmark (partnering with Joachim Dahlström) before moving to France, at 19, to partner with the former winner of The Dancing Show, Maxime Dereymez.[2] Together in 2007, they became the French national champions.[3][self-published source?] The couple also reached fourth place at the IDSF Open in 2007.[4] After three years in France, Patchett moved to Slovenia to dance with Blaz Pocajt and compete in the professional category[5] at the age of 22. Towards the end of 2010, Dereymez and Patchett decided to renew their partnership. They both competed on TF1's Danse avec les stars.[2] Patchett won the first season of Danse avec les stars with her partner French singer/songwriter, Matt Pokora, on 19 March 2011.[2]
Patchett speaks French, and lives in Paris.[6]
