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

Because muscle is heavier than fat, dancers weigh more than you might think, but they are usually very lean.

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

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

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.
