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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 like any other art form in that we all start out knowing nothing about it.
Ballet is sort of a mystery to me. And I don't want to unravel that mystery.
At least in my performances, the audience has become so diverse in a way that I don't think ballet has ever experienced.
I like new ballets because they're totally new. As you get older, new experiences are harder and harder to come by, so it's pretty great to have a new experience.
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.
The eternal and uneasy relationship between ballet and modern dance endures, but radically altered in tone and intensity.
Ballet can be grueling, for sure, but it gives you a certain discipline.
The life of a dancer is tragically short. What is remarkable about the New York City Ballet is that it makes us forget that. Because it keeps the ballet alive.
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.
