Janette Manrara | Tiny Dancer, BIG WORLD: An Inspirational Guide to Fulfilment

Janette Manrara was born in Miami, Florida, into a vibrant and loving Cuban family, where her passion for performance was clear from an early age. A lifelong dancer, Janette’s talent and charisma led her to join Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 as a Professional Dancer in Season 11, where she made her debut partnering with fashion designer Julien Macdonald. Over the next eight years, she lit up the dance floor alongside Jake Wood, Peter Andre, Melvin Odoom, Aston Merrygold, Dr Ranj, Will Bailey MBE, and in her final season, reached the grand final with HRVY.
So, whether you’re looking to boost your happiness, advance your career or manifest your big life goals, Janette’s delightful blend of advice, inspiration and life lessons from her time on stage and screen is just what you need.
Divided into four key pillars: Acceptance, Reflection, The Work and Discovery, her tried-and-true life advice centres around learning to love yourself. Each chapter offers hard-won wisdom alongside practical techniques to apply that wisdom to your own life, complete with all the steps to take to make your goals a reality. Janette is here to motivate you, empower you, spark joy and remind you that you are amazing.
In 2021, Janette embraced a new chapter as one of the hosts of It Takes Two, bringing her warmth and positivity to viewers in a fresh way. Passionate about spreading joy and sharing the lessons she’s learned through her journey, she continues to inspire others to find light in their own lives. Tiny Dancer, Big World is her first book. Meet Janette Manrara, hear her in conversation with Ben Dreyer and get your book signed!
