I started dancing 70 years ago. That's right, 70 years as everybody says.
Everybody thinks that ballet is a very 1 career, and I really thought that I was going to be finished in my 20s. And so now it seems amazing that I am still dancing at the age of 77. 2 , people think I'm unusual.
I love children and I love them to enjoy ballet. I know some of them will not continue forever, 3 I think ballet teaches more than just dance. It teaches them respect（尊重）for each other.
In London during the war, we always went to the ballet and I always loved it. And I really wasn't very talented. The main thing was that I had wonderful teachers, and my husband was one of them. He always 4 me. He always thought I was a good dancer. But I don't have him now. Ballet has been my main love .
Life is too short, do what you want to do. Whether it's painting, ballet or yoga— 5 you really love to do—it's never too late. So start doing what you love doing now.
