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’s name is synonymous with The Spice Girls and Girl Power, but now she’s 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 “vulnerability is a superpower, I think this is going to be very rewarding, and intense and petrifying… I’ve had to be accepting of where my body is and I’ve had to train again’

For 5 Minutes On, the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's Media and Arts reporter, Sophie van Brugen meets Melanie C to talk about breaking down the boundaries between performing and age.
