A Quote by Manu Bennett

The best physique I ever had was when I was ballet dancing. — © Manu Bennett
The best physique I ever had was when I was ballet dancing.
Throughout my childhood, I did a form of Irish dancing that was kind of the precursor to 'Riverdance.' It was a mixture of ballet and Irish dancing that my teacher, Patricia Mulholland, had invented, essentially. It was Irish ballet, and she would create performances based around the myths and legends of Ireland.
I've got used to the fact -? just about -? that whatever I do is going to be compared to the other Beatles. If I took up ballet dancing, my ballet dancing would be compared with Paul (McCartney)'s bowling.
I had three brilliant years on 'The X Factor,' and it was one of the best jobs I've ever had. 'Strictly' is completely different; it's a whole different show - I'm dancing. It's not presenting. But this is one of the best things I've done - ever.
I began dancing when I was 7 years old. I was told that I had the perfect ballet dancers body and had these crazy high arches in my feet that resulted in an amazing point. Ballet was very disciplined and, frankly, a little boring, so I eventually transitioned to gymnastics. I loved that, although I never reached a competitive level.

My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.
I grew up as a dancer. I did tap, classical ballet, all of that. I did Indian dancing, or Bharata Natyam, classic temple dancing from Madras, originally. My mother always had the great idea that I should learn it.
When I was a kid, I always had my hair in two plaits. But for dancing, I had to have it in a bun because I did ballet.
One of the few things in dance to match the Royal Ballet's curtain calls is the Royal Ballet's dancing.
I knew I wanted to be a ballet dancer, but what kind, I wasn't sure. My two dream companies had been New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theater.
Dancing for the length of time that I did, it centered me in such a way to be really in tune with my body, and I just feel like I'm physically able to do things because of my ballet background. Without ballet, I don't think I'd look graceful at all on screen.
I'm the first one out on the dance floor. In college I had to take jazz, ballet and tap dancing, but, before that, it was just social.
I've been dancing my entire life. Jazz, hip hop, ballet. And then there's tap dancing. I love to tap.
We do ballet dancing, Irish dancing, Scottish, jazz, tap - whatever country we're in or whatever culture that we'd like to present to the children.
Fitness has been a part of all my life since I was a young child. I started dancing ballet and doing yoga when I was three, before stopping ballet at five to start playing soccer and tennis instead. That lasted until my early teens.
I love ballet and I love dancing...... It's a little boring for me to go to the gym because I'm used to the dancing discipline - It's really hard, but much more fun.
