Back for his second series, American Brian was born in Philadelphia where he was brought up on dance. From the age of four he danced at his mother's dance studio, Universal Dance Centre. Both of his parents held nationally-ranked titles in Ballroom and Latin. He began his competitive career at the age of just five years old and in 2001 he was a National Ballroom and Latin 10 Dance Finalist.
In his first series of Strictly Come Dancing Brian reached week eight with his partner singer Heather Small. This year, he says: "I want to dance with someone who is fun to work with, has a positive attitude, and is excited to learn the new dances."
