Ballet is like any other art form in that we all start out knowing nothing about it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ballet is sort of a mystery to me. And I don't want to unravel that mystery.
Ballet is an incredibly difficult, beautiful art form that takes a lot of training, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.
Ballet is completely unnatural to the body, just being turned-out... it's not the way your body is supposed to function, so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with.
What is true of ballet is no less true of the other lively arts. Change is built into their natures. You watch a performance, and then... it's gone.
I've always been excited by the strangeness of ballet, but I can't bear it when people just come forward and do a turn in the air for no reason.
Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.
Ballet can be grueling, for sure, but it gives you a certain discipline.
I love ballet because you can see how beautiful the body is.
I love ballet. Ballet is its own being. It has its own vocabulary. I feel as if I am in a different world when I am in the ballet studio.
Ballet was this thing that just felt so innate in me, like I was meant to be doing this.
