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

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.

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.

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

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

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