Leaps and bounds

Switzerland has an international reputation as a lively dance scene. Bern:Ballett is one company promoting young dancers. Jack Widdowson was lucky enough to join, but then disaster struck. Widdowson joined Bern: Ballett as an apprentice in 2011 and was making great strides. But while he was visiting relatives in Britain, he was attacked by a mugger and broke his neck. Doctors feared he would never walk again, but he is now back on form, and performing for Swiss audiences. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)
