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.

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.

Once I became a professional, maybe 19 or 20, I really started to try to figure out who I was, as a woman and as an individual.

Ballet.something pure in this crazy world

I want to share the ballet world with everyone.

Physical fears change and shift depending on the role and depending on the mindset I'm in.

A lot of people think, "Oh I'm going to eat whatever I want and then go to the gym." And I've definitely been one of those people and it just doesn't give me the results that I need to have the physique of a ballerina.
