There were times when I thought we wouldn't finish. We had a few slow episodes but I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this campaign. I’ve met some amazing women, learnt that everyone's paths are different, but none are easy. I’m so glad that this campaign showed exactly that.

Most dancers hang their leotards at the age of 30. Liz wasn’t one of them. She continued dancing and she’s now described as ‘grand dame of anarchic dance’.
