I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.

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!

So if the dance is five minutes long, make yourself run for perhaps eight minutes. That way, you over-train and the dance will seem easier.

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

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.

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

A good dancer is an educated one, so dont abandon school.
