I Had A Wonderful Childhood, Coming From

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.

I Liked Latin, I Like Languages, I Liked All The Myths, And The Roman Tales That We Were Required To Translate In Latin, And All These Interesting People Who Were Never Quite What They Thought They Would Be Or Seemed To Be.

Of Course, In The Art Class, I Was The Model.

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

When You Are On Stage, You Don't See Faces. The Lights Are In Your Eyes And You See Just This Black Void Out In Front Of You. And Yet You Know There Is Life Out There, And You Have To Get Your Message Across.
