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.

Physical fears change and shift depending on the role and depending on the mindset I'm in.

I absolutely love what I do, and I want to dance for as long as I can and feel good about what I am putting out there on the stage.

I'm definitely very careful about the things that I want to be a part of, but it's also important for me to get dance out there to more people.

I think that training is the key, definitely, and I devoted my life to it.

I will never be the best dancer or artist. I will be growing until the day I retire.

You can dream big and it doesn't matter what you look like, where you come from.
