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

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

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

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.

I always recommend a sensible diet, including lots of carbohydrates and avoiding too much fat. Dancers don't need different fuel from other people - they just need more of it because they use more energy.

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

So experience of other dance forms is a good idea.
