You can't reduce lactic acid, but you can increase your tolerance to it. I do this through running or cycling, but it's a good idea to match your training bout to the type of dance you do.

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 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.

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

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

Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives... So train the whole person, not just the dancer.

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!
