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

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.

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.

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

I get to the theatre in plenty of time; I prepare my shoes in advance; I eat and drink the right things at the right time. The rest you have to leave to luck!
