Dancers, like all performing artists, like nothing better than to be challenged.

Treasure the things about you that make you different and unique.

You're terrified that nothing will ever give you the fulfillment that dancing has given you.

Canadians are very proud of me, of my career.

In the world of classical ballet there are only a handful of story ballets, so getting a new one is cause for excitement.

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.

To be able to make decisions and see them come to fruition and feel the excitement around them, what it generates within the company, how the artists get motivated — that's the most rewarding part; feeling I can be a catalyst for an artistic experience for our artists and for the public.
