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.

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

% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

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

At the moment I'm enjoying a new challenge at the Royal Opera House, but I'm also keen to pursue my interest in television and particularly in science.

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.

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