I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.

Growing up in Niagara Falls, Ontario, I took classes as a young girl and became very serious about ballet, and also performed with a local company, although it wasn't a professional company.

I've studied dance since I was very young, and I continue to study ballet.

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.

As an adult, I took ballet classes three times a week, and I believed it gave me better posture, a stronger body, and made me more graceful.

There's only a certain amount of space in every ballet company. You're basically on a team. You want to succeed as a group but all want to have the same roles.

I am passionate about ballet.

I was in a competing company and have been dancing since I was four - ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop - so it's a huge part of my life and my music.

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.

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