I was born claire michelle oldfield in 1989 in sheffield,england my dad was in the army so we moved around a lot, i started going to dance classes when i was 5 my Favourite class was ballet,
when i was 10 i was placed in bording school this is were i found my passion for the peforming arts it all started when my friend begged me to audition with her for the end of term play i hesitated but i couldn't let her down , i made it in to the chorous with her we were the swamp monsters henchmen and startlets (ballet dancing stars in sparkely dresses ) and after the perfomance i had a huge buzz and decide this is what i want to do i want to act...
in the third year i auditioned for the king and i and was a wife but had a dancing solo.i then went on and audition for other musicals.
i started to compete in gymnastics and other sports i then left bording school at fourteen .
i have just started playing ice hockey ,i have just finished a two year course in peforming arts and will hopefully applying to drama schools such east 15 ,rada, bristol old vic or the guildhall to study acting
