Dancers Are A Great Breed Of People.

I Was Very Happy That I Was As Normal As Possible Before I Went Into Serious Dance.

I Didn't Care Too Much For Ballet, Because You Had To Be More Disciplined, And You Sort Of Looked Like Everyone Else. It Required A Certain Kind Of Conformity That I Didn't Feel Like I Wanted To Do.

Although We Do Come From A Silent Profession, It Is Important For Us To Verbalize What We Want To Say. (as I Tell My Students): You Could Love Someone All Your Life, But If You Never Say It How Are They Going To Know? There Comes A Point When You Have To Say What You Mean, Which Makes You Scream Louder When You Dance.

Fifth Positions, Heads, Musicality, Energy. Not Technical Things So Much-getting Your Leg Higher Or Doing More Turns But Things That Would Set You Apart From Other Dancers. The Only Way You Can Be Different Is To Be Yourself If You Don't Find Your Spirit And Reveal It, You Just Look Like Every Other Dancer.

And I Just Thought, This Is What I Want To Be. And I Knew That Dancing Would Be My Chosen Profession.
