Classical ballet is very extreme. You’re doing it six days a week, and it’s a kind of obsession of perfecting a move. So every muscle in your body has been stretched and tightened, stretched and tightened. Darcey Bussell Read Quote

Ever since I’ve given up dancing, every physiotherapist or Pilates teacher has said you have to keep moving. If I don’t, I’ll have a hundred times more injuries because you get weak areas on your body. Darcey Bussell Read Quote
I was pretty rubbish when I first started dancing. I didn’t understand the discipline of working on one step over and over again. If you look at it from the outside, you’d think, ‘Why would anybody want to do that?’ But you just want to get it perfect. It is that constant inner striving that you fall in love with.
