"It's not about weight, it's about fitness, and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat, because fat is not very efficient, whereas muscle is."
Fitness
"A good dancer is an educated one, so don't abandon school."
School
"I have lots of interests, but it's true that dancing is a very full-time job."
Dance
"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."
Dance

Ballet

Space
"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!"
Time
"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."
Experience
"I always recommend a sensible diet, including lots of carbohydrates and avoiding too much fat. Dancers don't need different fuel from other people - they just need more of it because they use more energy."
Diet
"Dancing's not always stressful, but I always make sure that I'm prepared as I can be, both physically, mentally, and practically."
