This week, we're back in the dance-off with Strictly pro, Anya Garnis, who joins Kevin to talk about her incredible career, which has included such highlights as a stint on Broadway, fabulous success on Strictly, one of the most respected professionals on 'So You Think You Can Dance', and an exciting new project coming soon - details of which are in this week's show...

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rise Up With Arts is a chance for many in theatrical professions to come together to celebrate the talents and gifts they have, and to share them with the world.
• As performers, we often feel as though we need to rebel against the expectations set upon us. This is why so many in the profession take risks.
• Energy and youth mean that many dancers can be far faster and swifter in their formative years. As careers progress, it becomes more about definition and perfecting technique.
• You are constantly competing against yourself - the most important competitor you have in life. External rivalries come and go, but the need to be better for ourselves never ends.
