Dancer Kezi Warwick is refusing to let coronavirus knock her off her feet.

The 17-year-old from Maidstone had been chosen to join a girl band - which was lined up to support Robbie Williams on his nationwide tour.

Then just days before starting rehearsals, the teenager was told her dreams had been put on hold because of the pandemic.

But she refused to let her disappointment get her down.

Instead, she has started giving live dance lessons from the living room of her home in Larkfield and now has more than 20,000 people are tuning in each day for her video routines.

The former Malling school pupil had set out with an ambition to perform on TV and in London's West End.

Kezi had accepted an offer to join a premium band Girl Tonic, but before she and her bandmates could begin rehearsals and recordings the virus struck.

She said: "Everything came crashing down because we couldn't travel to producers, we can't meet together or do photoshoots.

"Initially I was a bit depressed because I couldn't get an income and I was so upset.

"But then I told myself to stop being a wimp and I realised I could do my daily dancing to encourage others."

So Kezi now does a work out for children at 1pm, 3pm for families and every other night she does dancing for older teenagers at 6pm."

She said: "I have had nothing but great feedback some of the mums are sending me pictures of their children dancing which is so encouraging .

"I have now put some of my routines on my website and my Instagram and Facebook."
