I danced a lot when I was younger, and I've always had decent, shapely legs and thought it's now or never. I mean, when you're pushing 40, are you really going to wander around in a dress that's midthigh length?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wear short shorts. After 10 years of strenuous ballet, it's the least my legs can do for me.
I haven't danced since 1973; I'm too old.
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.
40 years old is about the time a principal dancer would start to think about retirement, but some go on to dance a little bit longer than that.
You can be beautiful with big breasts; you can be beautiful in your 40s. If you don't have perfect ankles, still you can move your legs in a certain way and look very sexy.
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.
As long as I have my feet, I can dance; you know what I'm saying?
I've been dancing since I was seven, but I never really developed a regimen until I was on Broadway and responsible for a professional performance every night.
At age 10, I was better at ballet than I think I will ever be at any physical activity for the rest of my life.
I didn't even start dancing until I was in my thirties, and it was like flying.
