Candice talks with makeup artist Wendy Rowe about her background in ballet as a young girl.
How often do you practice ballet?
“I don’t practice classical ballet dancing anymore – I now do a combination of boxing, ballet and skipping. It depends on my schedule, but at least twice a week. And when I’m traveling I always pack rake bands so I can work out in the hotel room. It’s important to stay active…”
How did you get into ballet? What effect does ballet have on your body?
“My mum was a dance teacher and she knew how important it is for girls to dance from a young age - you learn so much about your body and discipline at the same time. I started ballet when I was three, and because I started so young my body muscles formed in a different way. It made me extremely flexible and lean, but also built important muscles and gave me great posture. From pointing your feet constantly, you naturally form better (and more feminine) muscles.” (+)
