Certainly, when you train as a classical dancer, you are very much influenced by 'Giselle.' You see it all the time; you start to learn the steps a little.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I'm the same dancer everywhere. But I've learned a lot with Bolshoi - the history of the theater, the technique of the theater, different nuances in my technique.
I think it's useful to experience other types of dance and other cultures, and the life of a classical dancer these days is certainly not all tutus! So experience of other dance forms is a good idea.
I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.
Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.
I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.
I find that dancers are only well trained in ballet these days.
I was a dancer for many years. I was a premier dancer with 'Porgy and Bess,' the opera. And I taught dance some, in different places.
I've never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.
I heard a lot in school, 'You've got a really great talent, but there's no way you're going to be a dancer with that body.'
I'm not a good dancer, but I try. I don't really have the moves.
