Ballet was so structured. I'd been craving something that could guide me.

I love ballet because you can see how beautiful the body is.

Ballet is such a disciplined craft and it has given me a good grounding.

Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.

Ballet really taught me so much about the power of movement.

Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.

Ballet was this thing that just felt so innate in me, like I was meant to be doing this.

My family didn't have very much money, so ballet wasn't even on my radar; I just found it randomly when I was 13 at a Boys & Girls Club. We were practicing in a basketball court in gym clothes with some old socks on. Even though it terrified me at first, I found that I really liked it.

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 particular ballet was not so important as the fact that I was physically healthy, and capable of getting out there and dancing as often as possible.
