I was raised in a really terrific, close family, and I've never needed to escape anything or to really let myself go by dancing on tables.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents liked to go dancing, and they encouraged all of us to bring our friends home. My brother had a skiffle group, and there would often be dancing in the house. And my parents would come and dance with us.
I was a dancer, and my father was a dancer, so I really grew up in that environment.
I've always danced. I've always been around it.
I was dancing on Broadway for many years. Then everyone was either getting injured or retiring, and I was dancing with younger dancers.
I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.
I've been dancing since I was 6 years old. That kind of relentless dedication and intensity is where I'm comfortable.
I danced from the age of three, so I was always going to do something performance-related. I got into the Television Workshop drama group in Nottingham when I was 11 and went there for ten years.
I never danced growing up.
My mum took me to the ballet at three, and that was the only time I sat still, with jaw open, mesmerised. She brought me home, and I wouldn't stop dancing.
My mum and dad teach, and all my brothers and sisters have been in 'Riverdance' and so forth. So I was forced to become a dancer; it's part of my family history.
