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

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.

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

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

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.

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