Darcey received both the OBE and CBE awards during her time with the Royal Ballet, and since officially retiring in 2007 she has teamed up with Katherine Jenkins in the phenomenally successful Viva la Diva. She is married with two daughters.

Rosa and the Magic Moonstone - Darcey Bussell
Prologue
In the soft, pale light, the girl stood with her head bent and her hands held lightly in front of her. There was a moment’s silence and then the first notes of the music began. For as long as the girl could remember music had seemed to tell her of another world – a magical, exciting world – that lay far, far away. She always felt if she could just close her eyes and lose herself, then she would get there. Maybe this time. As the music swirled inside her, she swept her arms above her head, rose on to her toes and began to dance …
The group of girls crowded into the changing rooms, chattering loudly.
"I can’t believe we’re going to be doing the exam tomorrow!" Olivia said.
I know,
replied Rebecca. I’m really nervous.
I’m scared stiff,
agreed Asha.
Rosa Maitland looked at her friends in surprise. But why?
She twirled round before sitting down and starting to untie the ribbons on her red ballet shoes. I’m looking forward to it.
Rosa loved dancing in front of people. She didn’t care whether it was her teacher, Madame Za-Za, an audience at a theatre or an examiner in the ballet studio. She just loved to dance!
But what if we go wrong?
said Olivia. What if we forget everything?
Why would we?
Rosa said. We’re just doing the same exercises we do every lesson for Madame Za-Za. Stop worrying about it.
She got changed out of her leotard and after saying goodbye to Olivia and the others, she headed home. Rosa only lived around the corner. As she let herself into the house, her mum came into the hall in her wheelchair. Mrs Maitland had once been a ballerina, but then a car accident had ended her career. She still loved ballet, though, and often helped Rosa.
How did the exam practice go?
she asked.
Great.
Rosa smiled as she remembered. It was cool dancing with a proper pianist playing and Madame Za-Za said I did my dances really well.
Mrs Maitland nodded. "How about your barre work?"
Easy peasy!
grinned Rosa. She took hold of the kitchen door
