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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.
I used to be a dancer, and for me it was a really good combination of dance and acting.
I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.
Growing up as a dancer, the stage is really where I love to be performance wise.
I always considered myself a dancer before anything else.
I was a dancer first, which made me realize how much I loved performing.
I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.
People misconstrue when I say I was a dancer. I was not classically trained. I was a street dancer, and I got to do what I did in the nightclubs of New York City.
I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.
