People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am dancing all the time. Every gesture, the body line of every pose, the way I get from place to place, the movement in the acting - none of it would be the way it is if I weren't a dancer.
I think body-image issues are not just a dancer thing. I think we're much more in tune and aware because the body is our instrument and art, and we stare at ourselves in a mirror all day, but I feel like it's something that every woman experiences and every girl experiences.
Fortunately, dance has been what's interested me all my life. So whether I am faced with incapacities or not, it still absorbs me.
When a body moves, it's the most revealing thing. Dance for me a minute, and I'll tell you who you are.
I might love dancing more than I should admit. But not in public.
Dance has definitely made me a better role model.When I'm performing, I'm always thinking about my face and my look. I used to have a much harder time with it.
I'm very much in denial that I can't dance. I really go for it, which is almost more embarrassing.
I love to dance. But I don't like being up in front of tons of people. I didn't have the desire to be performing in front of a lot of people. So it wasn't something I ever seriously considered.
I do expose my body, but only because I think people should have something nice to look at.
I like my body. I don't want to have to change it for anything - even if that means I have to take a step down as a dancer. I don't think I'm ever going to sacrifice my figure for anyone else to accept me.
