It was a five cent Chinese yuan coin that gave Tan Yuan Yuan the chance to dance.

Born into a traditional family in Shanghai, the obstacles Tan broke through to become one of today's most critically acclaimed ballerinas began at home. She is now the San Francisco Ballet's principal dancer - the first Chinese to do so.

Saw her interview in CNN's Talk Asia programme recently and thought it might be of interest to readers in this Forum. Yon can read an article about her (entitled ' The perfect poise of Tan Yuan Yuan') and watch her interview on Video. Visit:
