I've always been a bit of a poser. I was chucked out of ballet lessons for looking in the mirror.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And I usually use myself as a model, posing in front of a mirror as I dab the strokes on the canvas.
My years of ballet and jazz dance lessons didn't make me any more graceful - they just helped keep me from bumping into the furniture on stage.
I grew up studying dance, taking ballet lessons.
Figure skating has been a great influence for me. I took dance at the School of American Ballet, which helped my own skating. And whether you are a skater or a dancer, without sounding narcissistic, it is all about looking in the mirror.
I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.
I was ashamed to admit I was hipped to the idea of acting. That's why I started in with the props.
I started taking ballet lessons when I was three and a half and I still take dance classes.
Ballet was this thing that just felt so innate in me, like I was meant to be doing this.
So I'm studying ballet every day and really training so people will see me as a ballet dancer, which no one's seen before.
In the ballet studio, it was such an organized and disciplined environment, like I'd never had in my life. Seeing myself in the mirror, surrounded by the classical music, that's when I started to fall in love with dance.
