I enjoy the freedom of modern dance as well as the constraints of classical dance.

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case.

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

Because muscle is heavier than fat, dancers weigh more than you might think, but they are usually very lean.

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.
