'''Nancy Anna Francina Coolen''', known as '''Nance''' (born 10 September 1973 in [[Asten, Netherlands|Asten]], [[North Brabant]], [[Netherlands]]) is a Dutch singer and television presenter, and the former lead vocalist of [[Eurodance]] act [[Twenty 4 Seven]].

At the age of 15, Nance was discovered in a club by dance producer [[Ruud van Rijen]], who created the dance-act Twenty 4 Seven around her and rapper [[Captain Hollywood Project|Captain Hollywood]], who was later replaced by [[Stay C]]. The act scored several hits, most notably ''[[Slave to the Music (Twenty 4 Seven song)|Slave to the Music]]''.

In 1996, Nance left Twenty 4 Seven to embark on a solo career. Around the same time she began working as a presenter for Dutch television by occasionally hosting the Dutch Top 40 for [[TMF Nederland]]. Nance moved on to various game shows, such as ''Liefde is...'' for [[RTL 5]] and ''Rappatongo'' for [[TROS]], before taking over as the host of [[Lingo (Dutch game show)|Lingo]], which she presented until 2005.
