Mel C's dancing challenge

Former Spice Girl Mel C is taking on a lead role as a contemporary dancer for the first time in her career.

For most of us, Melanie C鈥檚 name is synonymous with The Spice Girls and Girl Power, but now she鈥檚 taking female empowerment to a new level and challenging herself by dancing the lead role in a new production at Sadler's Wells in London. Mel says 鈥渧ulnerability is a superpower, I think this is going to be very rewarding, and intense and petrifying鈥� I鈥檝e had to be accepting of where my body is and I鈥檝e had to train again鈥�

For 5 Minutes On, the 麻豆社's Media and Arts reporter, Sophie van Brugen meets Melanie C to talk about breaking down the boundaries between performing and age.
