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

Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

A good dancer is an educated one, so dont abandon school.
Deborah Bull
Image
So experience of other dance forms is a good idea.

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.
Deborah Bull

But you do have to start young as a dancer if you're going to achieve the physical skills necessary.
