The former ballet star using dance to help recovering addicts

Paul Bayes Kitcher once had a promising future career as a dancer with the Birmingham Royal Ballet. But 20 years ago, Paul quit performing due to a long battle with drugs and alcohol. At that point, his life further spiralled out of control; in his own words, he was dying due to his addictions. He finally went into rehab, and has been clean and sober now for 12 years. Today, he runs workshops and classes to teach dance and movement to recovering addicts, like Jo. With Paul's help, Jo says she has been clean from alcohol and drugs for nearly six months.
