I know that I'll forever be involved in ballet. This is where my life was meant to be, and I don't see myself straying completely away, ever.

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 try to consider people's perspectives and not just my own.

You're always working to improve, and you're always being critiqued on your next performance. It's not about what you've done. There's always room to grow.

Success is not easy and I think everyone should know that hard work and perseverance and being open to giving back are so much more powerful than stepping all over people to get to the top.

Ballet was exactly what I was searching for, but my environment definitely made me the dancer and the person that I am today. And the Hip-Hop culture was a big part of it.

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.
