First comes the sweat. Then comes the beauty if you're very lucky and have said your prayers.

In ballet a complicated story is impossible to tell. We can't dance synonyms.

What are you waiting for? What are you saving for? Now is all there is.

Storyless is not abstract. Two dancers on the stage are enough material for a story; for me, they are already a story in themselves

Your eyes is camera and your brain is a file cabinet.

If you don't feel challenged, it's because you're not doing enough. Ballet should never feel comfortable. Comfortable is lazy! If you're comfortable when you dance, you're not pushing yourself hard enough. 100 % is not enough. You have to give 200%. One tendu takes years of hard work and will never be perfect. Everything in ballet is a challenge.

Music must be seen, and dance must be heard
