I believe that I definitely developed into a refined and graceful woman due to ballet. It has shaped me in every way.

But I think the more you eat healthy clean foods the more you create them.

It takes a lot of money to be a part of the ballet world. Both the training and the supplies are expensive, the shoes, the leotards and the tights.

In a ballet company, you're trying to create unison and uniform when you're in a cour de ballet.

I never knew I wanted to become a ballerina. I was discovered at the age of 13. I had a love for movement even though I had no exposure to dance other than what I saw in music videos, like hip-hop music videos. But I knew that I loved moving.

That it's possible to do positive things and I think that's how we're going to set an example to be respected as women in the world.

It's difficult to exist as a woman, especially I think as a powerful woman. You want to stand strong and you want to be considered and equal.
