People dance at any age.

You can be totally involved, you could admire just the shape of or you could be totally emotionally mushed up into the dance.

I like the most provocative and most surprising partnerships on stage. Intensity and surprise.

I feel very uneasy with a lot of aspects of the Russian life and the Russian people.

You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.

A country like Belgium, or socialist countries in central Europe spend more money on art education than the United States, which is a really puzzling thought.

I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
