For me, I was in school and I pushed myself to be a good student, just because that’s the type of person I was, but I never had a connection to any of it. I don’t think my brain functioned in a way that was at its height, when I was in school. I needed something like art to really value the way my mind works. I wasn’t reaching my full potential by sitting in a classroom and reading from a book. My mind didn’t work that way Picture Quote #1

Once I became a professional, maybe 19 or 20, I really started to try to figure out who I was, as a woman and as an individual Picture Quote #1

Even if I weren’t learning new roles and getting the opportunity to be coached by incredible people, I still think I would be so excited to have an opportunity to continue to push myself and grow, as an artist Picture Quote #1

There are muscles that we have in our feet that most human beings don’t even know that we have. The strength that we have is so detailed Picture Quote #1

I think most people don’t really understand all that it takes to stand on your toes, and to be able to jump and land without any noise, or for a male dancer to be able to lift a girl. All of these things look so effortless, but there’s an attention to detail and years of training, as well as being able to transform into a character and being able to meld all of those things together Picture Quote #1

When you see the body outside of a costume and see the strength that it takes, people would look at dance a different way and see how athletic it is. You’re not just born like that Picture Quote #1

I learned how to communicate and articulate myself from ballet. It’s just insane to me, when they don’t think of that as a part of our education Picture Quote #1

I’m a pescatarian, so I don’t eat red meat or pork. So my dinners usually consist of seafood in some way. And maybe cookies after! Picture Quote #1
