sake dance-love
I learned to love dance for its own sake.
dancing want would-be
And I just thought, this is what I want to be. And I knew that dancing would be my chosen profession.
dance insecure ballet
Even though I am a professional, and I know what the steps are, I don't quite know how I'm going to do them, because I haven't lived that moment yet. I always feel very insecure and I get very excited.
practice healthy special
Eating a healthy diet is not just about eating a few special foods. There's a bigger picture. You need to practice moderation, eat a variety of foods, and get enough physical activity.
motivational moving facts
But what was my motivation was music, and the fact that I love to move around. I'm always moving around.
I was very much of a tomboy.
dance being-yourself different
Fifth positions, heads, musicality, energy. Not technical things so much-getting your leg higher or doing more turns but things that would set you apart from other dancers. The only way you can be different is to be yourself If you don't find your spirit and reveal it, you just look like every other dancer.
thinking hands ballet-class
On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life.
goal discipline dancer
I set as my goal to be the best dancer I could be. Not the most famous, or the highest paid dancer, just the best I could be. Out of this discipline came great freedom and calm.
dance vibrate
As soon as I hear music, something in me starts to vibrate.
beautiful dance dancing
After I stopped dancing, I was unable to listen to beautiful music.
art soul hospitals
... the arts are the hospitals for our souls ...
humdrum stage curtains
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.
team player ballet
You're never more of an individual than when you're a happy team player.
