Camilla has founded her own coaching and mindful living business Zenme and now lives in Los Angeles. She has written two self-help books and is a popular coach and mediation facilitator in Los Angeles.
Dallerup was born in Aalborg, where she started dancing at the age of two and a half when her mother took her to her first class. She won the Danish Junior Championships at the age of 12. Dallerup later moved to London, United Kingdom, where she lived and competed with Brendan Cole, who also became her fiancé. In 2003, Dallerup and Cole were placed third in Latin American at the UK Closed Championships, and in the top 12 of the world professionals at the open British championships. From 2004 Ian Waite has been her professional dance partner and they were placed second for Latin American at the 2005 UK Closed Championships and in the semi-final of the International championships at the Royal Albert Hall in 2004.
In September 2007, Dallerup and Cole represented the UK in the inaugural Eurovision Dance Contest 2007.
Dallerup is best known to a wide audience for her appearances on the BBC's dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing, on which she appeared as a professional dancer in the first six series from 2004 to 2008. She won the show for the first time in 2008, partnering Holby City actor Tom Chambers. She subsequently revealed she would not be returning to the show for the 2009 series claiming that she had made her decision before she won with Chambers. She did however go on tour with Strictly Come Dancing in early 2009 with 2008 partner Tom Chambers.
In Jan/Feb 2015 Camilla was a judge with Craig Revel Horwood and Tom Chambers on the Strictly Come Dancing Live UK tour where Tom and Camilla recreated their winning dance from 2008.
