They say dynamite comes in small packages, and the pint-sized explosive device in The Bachelor SA mansion is called Pasha dos Santos. Ravishing looks, abundant curly tresses, and a feisty personality add up to a show-stopping presence. Fiercely independent Pasha has a healthy sense of self-worth and is not scared to speak her mind. Especially when someone puts an obstacle in her way! Well, in The Bachelor SA, there are 21 potential hurdles on the road leading to Marc’s heart. But jumping through hoops is her forte. Pasha is a hard-working, classically trained professional dancer, burlesque performer, choreographer and Pilates instructor. She started dancing when she was four years old.  After completing high school in East London, she moved to Pretoria for further study. When that was done and dusted, she packed all her belongings in her car and set off for Cape Town to find a job. She’s besotted with her feline companions, Zaya and Quinn.
