Jane Seymour discusses “Dancing With The Stars”

Legendary actress Jane Seymour always wanted to be a dancer. While knee problems kept her out of England’s Royal Ballet, at age 56, she now has the opportunity to don elegant costumes and glide across the floor as a contestant on the popular ABC show “Dancing With the Stars.”
In fact, she has more formal dance training than any other contestant in the five-season history of the show. Starting at age five, Seymour took her tutus very seriously. But ultimately, her dreams of becoming a prima ballerina were dashed.

Her decision to join “Dancing With The Stars” came during a particularly difficult time in Seymour’s life. Her mother had just suffered a stroke, and Seymour was commuting back and forth to England to be by her side. Seymour began suffering from depression, and packing on the pounds.

To combat her weight gain and rebuild her emotional strength, she opted to become the oldest woman ever to join the “Stars” cast. She will be counting on her partner, Tony Dovolani, to help her traverse the intricate dance routines she will learn at a frenetic pace over the next few months.
