You have to be aware. Like, I'm not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I'm not going to risk breaking a leg. I want to be dancing the way I'm dancing now for 30 more years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have to be a little crazy to be a downhill skier.
The challenge is maintaining your interest over a long career, as opposed to pushing hard with no longevity. I'm surprised that I've been able to dance as long as I have.
I just want to continue to pursue dancing. I want to focus on making it out there and showing everybody my heart and soul through dance... and do it until I can't walk anymore.
Like everyone else, I want to go on dancing forever, but I know the day is going to come when I will have to be doing something else.
Making ski racing fun and engaging for kids and families is an exciting opportunity and a real passion of mine.
For me, skiing is a physical necessity. I have a need for risk.
I didn't want to be a dancer. I just did it to work my way through college. But I was always an athlete and gymnast, so it came naturally.
Skiing makes me feel great, and it gives my legs such an incredible workout.
There's this certain caliber of dancing I was striving for when I was younger, and it's very hard for me to go back and just do it for fun. But I take all other kinds of classes: I take jazz classes, modern classes, and I love doing that instead of going to the gym. The gym is not very much fun.
I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.
