Apart from
Hi
Apart from dance, she is good at basketball.
I came across this sentence in a magazine. I think it needs a small change. Tell me whether I am right.
Apart from being a dancer, she is good at basketball.

The original sentence is correct, and so is yours. That said, I do prefer "coordinated structures" with "apart from". Apart from being a dancer, she's (also) a basketball player.

Thank you, Ivanhr.
I have a doubt with the word also.
When we have "apart from....." is it necessary to use 'also', just as you have pointed out, in the sentence which follows?
