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

I think it's useful to experience other types of dance and other cultures, and the life of a classical dancer these days is certainly not all tutus! So experience of other dance forms is a good idea.

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

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

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

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.

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