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

Dancing's not always stressful, but I always make sure that I'm prepared as I can be, both physically, mentally, and practically.

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

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

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

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.

As you get older, the physical abilities decrease, which is particularly frustrating because your brain gets so good! So as you are becoming less technically or physically able, younger dancers are emerging who need the space to perform.
