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

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 I'm pretty laid back. I like cooking, being at home, and going to concerts. And I love to shop!

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 don't think every African-American or Latino have the same body type, but, yes, that's been one of the excuses ... saying that African-Americans are too muscular or just aren't lean enough. Usually they say, "Oh, they have flat feet so they just don't have the flexibility that it takes to create the line in a point shoe."

To be an artist and to be recognized by another artist who is, you know, just something you can't even put into words, someone that is so far beyond what the normal human being experience is in terms of creativity and originality. That was kind of a moment where I thought wow maybe I do have something more that makes me special.

Ballet.something pure in this crazy world
