It's another myth that dancing distorts or destroys your feet. If you have the right shaped foot to start and a good, strong technique, your feet should be fine.

I have lots of interests, but it's true that dancing is a very full-time job.

But you do have to start young as a dancer if you're going to achieve the physical skills necessary.

I think the shape of our bodies has as much to do with the shape of our parents as it does with training.

People often argue about this. Obviously one of the skills in performance is acting, and you can't expect every Romeo to really be in love with their Juliet!

I've always believed that the facts about dancing are more interesting than the myths, and this was a great chance for me to explore how the human body does such incredible things.

It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top.
