One of Prodijig's stars talks about preparing for demanding performances

Prodijig is leaving its audiences gasping, let alone its dancers, so Ellie O’Byrne was intrigued to hear how Nelly Elbadr prepares for the highly demanding show

Anyone who’s seen Prodijig: The Revolution, the new Irish dance show that’s been taking audiences by storm with its high-octane blend of Irish traditional dance moves, hip-hop, and contemporary dance, will have marveled at the enviable physiques and fitness levels of the dancers.

For Nawal ElBadri, the female lead in the show at Cork Opera House, keeping herself in form for eight physically demanding performances a week is surprisingly simple.
