A production of Nutcracker by Scottish Ballet. I was about 4 so the memories are vague, but my mum tells me that about 10mins in I enquired as to when were they were going to start speaking.

WHERE DID YOU DO YOUR DANCE TRAINING?
All over the place! Firstly at the Dance School of School of Scotland in Knightswood, Glasgow, followed by 2 years as a Royal Ballet Senior Associate and as an apprentice with a company called Jazz Art. Following that a year at London Studio Centre, and finishing with a scholarship place at Steps on Broadway in New York.
