Rising Up With The Arts - with Anya Garnis

This week, we're back in the dance-off with Strictly pro, Anya Garnis, who joins Kevin to talk about her incredible career, which has included such highlights as a stint on Broadway, fabulous success on Strictly, one of the most respected professionals on 'So You Think You Can Dance', and an exciting new project coming soon - details of which are in this week's show... KEY TAKEAWAYS Rise Up With Arts is a chance for many in theatrical professions to come together to celebrate the talents and gifts they have, and to share them with the world. As performers, we often feel as though we need to rebel against the expectations set upon us. This is why so many in the profession take risks. Energy and youth mean that many dancers can be far faster and swifter in their formative years. As careers progress, it becomes more about definition and perfecting technique. You are constantly competing against yourself - the most important competitor you have in life. External rivalries come and go, but the need to be better for ourselves never ends.
