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

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

I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.

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

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

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case.

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.
