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

Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.

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

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.
