I'm five-feet-seven, and it used to be a problem when I was a ballet dancer. It's still an obstacle for some of the male dancers I need for my act. I won't even audition one who is under six feet.

I was rejected by the Sadler's Wells Ballet because of my height (5 ft. 7¾ in.) and I also have discovered that long legs are made for little dogs to trip. Sport cars, too, are my deadly enemy. But, of course, my 'handicaps' become assets when I dance.
