Even if I weren't learning new roles and getting the opportunity to be coached by incredible people, I still think I would be so excited to have an opportunity to continue to push myself and grow, as an artist.

I think anything that affects me in my personal life is going to help me be a better artist on stage.

You can do anything you want, even if you are being told negative things.stay strong and find motivation.

I will push myself in different ventures that I believe will make me a better artist, dancer and person.

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.

Ballet found me. I was discovered by a teacher in middle school. I always danced, my whole life. I never had any training, never was exposed to seeing dance, but I always had something inside of me.

Going on stage and transcending the audience and becoming this otherworldly thing makes you a dancer. It's not so black and white.
