Friday night is our date night. We really carve out time for each other.

When I grow up I am going to be a ballerina. I will be in Giselle. It will be so much fun being a ballerina.

What's a dancer's worst enemy? Sometimes it's age, but sometimes it's the dancer themselves.

It's a time to reflect and appreciate all the contributions that others have made to my career and my life. My vision is nothing that hasn't been gleaned or understood from watching and working with so many people I admire before me.

Surround yourself with people who provide you with support and love and remember to give back as much as you can in return.

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.

The importance of the arts to the societies in which they thrive is well documented.
