Venice and Monet, the 11-year-old twins who are not just dancers but also performers and TV personalities. Their journey into the world of dance started when they were little, making a debut at the Butetown Carnival in the Wales Millennium Centre.

These two young talents found their groove early on, joining the Jukebox dance group at a young age. For the past six years, they’ve been rocking the dance floor with styles like hip-hop, Afro, break dancing, locking, and popping.

A big moment for them was at the Reggae and Riddim Festival in Newport, where they didn’t just show off their dance moves but also made friends with other cool dancers. It’s these kinds of experiences that make their journey so special.

One of their proudest moments was rocking the stage at the Reggae and Riddim Festival. Teamwork is their secret sauce – they practice until their moves are in perfect sync.

“When asked to share a memorable experience where their collaboration as twins enhanced a dance performance…”

It hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Dance battles were a bit scary at first, but Venice and Monet decided to tackle them head-on, pushing themselves to get better and not stay in their comfort zone. Balancing school and dance can also be tricky, but with their mom’s help, they make sure homework comes first before hitting the dance floor.

Collaborations have played a big part in their journey. Photographer Curtis Hughes put their faces on billboards in England and Wales with the “Portrait of Britain” Exhibition organised by British Journal of Photography. They had a blast with Munya Chawawa and Yung Filly in the “Race around Britain” project, even getting a nudge from Munya Chawawa to start their own YouTube channel.

Their story got even bigger with the “Black and Welsh” documentary, where they shared their experiences and even spoke in Welsh. This impactful documentary, directed by Liana Stewart, clinched the prestigious Bafta Cymru award for the best documentary in 2021. When Venice and Monet were asked about their collaboration with Liana Stewart, they shared their insights.

She’s really nice and happens to be a friend from our mom’s childhood. She made us feel comfortable, even when asking about emotional stuff. It wasn’t just us feeling things; hearing from people it seems like they got emotional too.. Using Welsh in the documentary was cool, and it even inspired our mom to start learning Welsh.

Fresh from judging outfits on “Sêr Steilio – Style Stars” on S4C, they’re ready for whatever comes next.

Looking ahead, these twins have big dreams. They want to travel the world, showing everyone what they’ve got, and they’re taking it one show at a time, working hard to make it happen.

They’re also looking to master new dance styles like popping and Amapiano in the future. Ruel and Blessing are their heroes, inspiring them to be the best they can be.

As Moet and Venice Twins keep wowing everyone with their energy and moves, their journey becomes an awesome inspiration for other kids who love to dance. Follow their adventures on social media (@venice_monet_twins) because these two are showing us what it means to be young stars.
