Inspiration
“Mama,
when
I
grow
up,
I'm
going
to
be
one
of
those！”I
said
this
after
seeing
the
Capital
Dancing
Company perform when
I was three. It was the first time that my __36__
took on a vivid form and
acted as
something important to start my training. As I
grew older and was __37__ to more, my
interests in the world of dance
__38__varied but that little girl's dream of
someday becoming
a __39__ in the
company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when
I was 18, I received the phone
call
which made that dream a
__40__
：
I became a member of
the company __41__ back to 1925.
As I
look back on that day now, it surely __42__ any
sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a
state
of
pleasant
disbelief
__43__
I
was
halfway
through
rehearsals(
排练
)
on
my
first
day.
I
never
actually __44__ to get the job. After
being offered the position, I was completely
__45__. I
remember shaking with
excitement.
Though
I
was
absolu
tely
thrilled
with
the
chance,
it
did
not
come
without
its
fair
share
of
__46__.
Through the strict rehearsal period of
dancing six days a week, I found it vital to
__47__ up
the material fast with every
last bit of concentration. It is that extreme
__48__ to detail (
细
节)
and
stress
on
practice
that
set
us
__49__.
To
then
follow
those
high?energy
rehearsals
__50__
a busy show schedule
of up to five performances a day, I discovered a
new __51__ of the words
“hard work”.
What I thought were my p
hysical __52__
were pushed much further than I thought
__53__. I learned to make each
performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable
company that I have the great __54__ of being a
part of,
no
t
only
as
a
member,
but
as
a
dance
captain,
I
see
a __55__
that
has
inspired
not
only
generations
of little girls
but a splendid company that continues to develop
and grow
—
and inspires people
every day to follow their dreams.

Planning a visit to the UK? Here we
help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID
BIG
EVENTS
Big
sporting
events,
concerts
and
exhibitions
can
increase
the
cost
of
accommodation and make it harder to
find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle
Brighton
on the final Friday of the
Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost
￡
169.15 at . A
week later, the same room cost
￡
118.15.
If you
can be flexible and want to know dates to
avoid
—
or you're looking for
a big event to pass
your
time
—
check out sites such as
, which allow you to search for events in the
UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION
If traveling to your destination by
train, you may want to find a
good base
close to the station, but you could end up paying
more for the sake of convenience at
the
start of your holiday.
Don't
be
too
choosy
about
the
part
of
town
y
ou
stay
in.
Booking
two
months
in
advance,
the
cheapest
room
at
Travelodge's
Central
Euston
hotel
in
London
for
Saturday
22
September
was
￡
95.95.
A
room
just
a
tube
journey
away
at
its
Covent
Garden
hotel
was
￡
75.75.
And
at
Farringdon,
a
double
room
cost
just
￡
62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF
Really
central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh
and Cardiff can
cost
a
fortune,
especially
at
weekends
and
during
big
events.
As
an
alternative
