There are muscles that we have in our feet that most human beings don't even know that we have. The strength that we have is so detailed.

I ended up training only for four years before I was accepted into American Ballet Theater in New York City.

I shouldn't even be wearing a tutu. I don't have the right legs, my muscles are too big.

I think that I'm so fortunate to have found classical ballet. It completely changed my life and it shaped the person that I am today, on and off the stage.

I'm a classical ballet dancer, and at the end of the day I want to be with American Ballet Theater, performing classical ballets.

My first ballet class was on a basketball court. I'm in my gym clothes and my socks trying to do this thing called ballet.

I know that most of the time I have to work overtime to do everything that I want to.
