Dame Arlene Phillips DBE, Dancer and Choreographer

  • Summary

  • “I Came from a Family Who Couldn’t Afford Dance Lessons”

    She may have started out her dancing career as a live-in house sitter for Ridley Scott, worked on Hollywood movies with some of the biggest stars of the stage and screen, and choreographed some of the world’s most famous musicals, but life in the public eye hasn’t always been a smooth ride for Arlene Phillips CBE. 

    From paying for her early training by working in a bakery, to finding out she was pregnant just as she was on the cusp of breaking America and then again at the age of 47, to losing her job on Strictly in a very public manner, the 77-year-old star revealed the ups and downs of her career in an open interview with celebrity event planner and brand consultant Liz Taylor, on her Events That Made Me podcast. 

    Liz Taylor’s 30-year career in event planning has built an impressive portfolio of events, including celebrity weddings, charity fundraisers like Children in Need with Gary Barlow and huge gala dinners such as Winter White Gala at Kensington Palace for HRH Duke of Cambridge, as well as the Manchester United Champions League winning after party in Moscow and Coronation Street’s 40th anniversary celebrations. During lockdown in March, with the events industry on hold, she turned her attention to launching her own consultancy and realised a lifelong ambition in launching her own podcast.    Liz Taylor Instagram - @liztaylorconsultancy Twitter - @ConsultancyLiz Facebook - facebook.com/LizTaylorConsultancy LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/liztaylor-tlc Website - liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk
