I know that dancers, especially ballet dancers, can't do it forever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I find that dancers are only well trained in ballet these days.
A dancer's career is short - you just keep going until your legs pack up.
I've never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.
I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.
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 think all dancers are control freaks a bit. We just want to be in control of ourselves and our bodies. That's just what the ballet structure, I think, kind of puts inside of you.
A dancer's life is hard - it is so physically demanding, and at any moment, you could have an injury that could end your career.
A dancer's life is all about repetition.
I'm not a good dancer, but I try. I don't really have the moves.
Dancers work and they work and they work, and they master their skills so far that improvisation just comes flowing out of them. Their natural expression of the best they can possibly be comes out of them because there is no boundary to hold them back... That's the mentality that I'm trying to create, recreate and hold on to forever.
