Treat Each Class As If It Were

I Loved The Stage Not Because It Provided An Escape From Myself Or My Humdrum Life But Because When The Curtain Went Up I Could Be Whoever I Wanted To Be, And That Was True Freedom - To Be Myself.

I Didn't Care Too Much For Ballet, Because You Had To Be More Disciplined, And You Sort Of Looked Like Everyone Else. It Required A Certain Kind Of Conformity That I Didn't Feel Like I Wanted To Do.

Dancers Are A Great Breed Of People. And They Really Want To Dance So You Don't Have To Beg Them To Work. However, Dancers Sometimes Build Walls Around Themselves Because They Are Presenting Themselves All The Time: Dancing Is Very Much A Confession.

The Particular Ballet Was Not So Important As The Fact That I Was Physically Healthy, And Capable Of Getting Out There And Dancing As Often As Possible.

I Learned To Love Dance For Its Own Sake.
