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.

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

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

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.

Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

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

But you do have to start young as a dancer if you're going to achieve the physical skills necessary.
