It has been five years since Alessandra Ferri left the stage, but she hasn’t stopped dancing. Speaking to the Italian dance magazine Danza & Danza she said that every morning she still prepares her bag for dance class adding, intriguingly,
I do class every day, I keep myself in form. I could dance tomorrow evening. In the future, who knows!
And when the journalist Sergio Trombetta asks if she’s planning on a comeback, she replies,
