Alana patience biography husband

This week's inspirational Biz Gal is someone who has brought much fun, entertainment and pizazz to our TV screens for more than a decade. Alana Patience's achievements are many. An impressive, award-filled ballroom career she first represented Australia in ballroom at the age of 16 led to a dabble in acting before returning to her roots.

She graduated from the Australian Academy of Dramatic Arts before traversing the world with her talent, but is perhaps most well known for her 12 years as a dance coach on Channel 7's Dancing with the Stars. Partnering with a bevy of male celebrities including Larry Emdur, Molly Meldrum and Brodie Holland, she won the coveted Dancing with the Stars mirror ball two years in-a-row when she led Rob Palmer and Manu Feildel to victory.

Biz Gals: What is your greatest achievement? It was a very humbling, exhausting but exhilarating time for me.

Patience was announced as part of the cast for the fourteenth season of Dancing with the Stars, but her assigned partner, comedian Paul Fenech, dropped out of.

I pushed my two partners to the very edge, and mostly pushed myself to the edge. I learned what I was capable of and what I needed to embrace and improve. Biz Gals: What is the greatest lesson you have learnt? Biz Gals: What is the best bit of advice you have been given? Alana: If it is meant to be it is up to me. Biz Gals: What or who inspires you?

Alana: My parents inspire me everyday with their selflessness and pure, undying love. I have never met two people who are so kind.
