Xander and Demelza Parish
Xander Parish and his sister Demelza were both, until
recently, members of the Royal Ballet, Britain´s most famous dance company.
Althogh a little younger that her brother, 23-year-old
Demelza was the first to develop an interest in dance. "I knew from the
age of two that I wanted to be a ballerina. Xander used to come to the local
dance school with me and sit on the floor playing with his toy trucks while I
was practising"-
"I wasn´t at all interested until I was eight",
says Xander. "Then I saw my sister in a dance show and thought I´d like to
be on the stage too, with everyone clapping me".
There is no previous history of ballet in the family.
Their mother works at home and their father runs a company supplying ink to the
printing trade. Howvere, Xander and Demelza have a lot to thank their parents
for. As well as driving them to many dance classes after school in their
home-town, they also gave them the right body shape. "How your body
develops depend very much on your family. If you put on weight as a teenager,
or your legs don´t grow long enough, your ballet career can be over before it´s
even begun", Xander explains. When they went for their interview to get
into the Royal Ballet School, the staff looked very carefully at their parents.
"Luckily Mum and Dad are both really slim and I think that encouraged the
school to accept us", remembers Xander.
That was more than ten years ago. Xander and Demelza
first went to the Royal Ballet´s Junior School, in the countyside outside
London, and then went on to the Senior School in the city centre. The training
was hard, and they both badly missed their family at first. But it was worth it
when, four years ago, both were offered contracts as permanent dancers with the
Royal Ballet.
Xander and Demelza are very close and have perfomed
together in countries all round the world. Although they spend so much time
together, they hardly ever argue. "That´s because we´ve been together for
so long", Demelza explains. "In the early days it was nice to have
each other around. Nowadays I can always trust Xander to tell me the truth
about my work, and I know he will always be helpful".
It seems certain that family support has helped them get
on in their careers, but what if they hadn´t been so successful? "I would
definitely be a professional footballer instead", says Xander. For
Demelza, the question is impossible to answer. "I´ve only ever wanted to
be a ballet dancer", she says. "And when I retire from dancing – I´ll
teach it!".
1. Demelza and Xander both started dancing lessons at the
age of two.
2. Xander changed his mind about dancing after he saw his
sister performing to an audience.
3. Mrs Parish passed on her tallent for ballet to her two
children.
4. Mr Paris is employed as a printer.
5. The interviewers at the Royal Ballet School checked Mr
and Mrs Parish´s appearance.
6. The two parts of the Royal Ballet School are in
separate locations.
7. Xander and Demelza enjoyed their time at ballet school
right form the start.
8. Demelza thinks that Xander sometimes judges her
dancing too negatively.
9. If he wasn´t a dancer, Xander would consider a career
in sport.
10. Demelza plans to give up everything to do with
dancing when she is older.
