I Was Very Happy That

So Dancing Was Not Something I Had A Great Desire To Do.

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.

When You Are On Stage, You Don't See Faces. The Lights Are In Your Eyes And You See Just This Black Void Out In Front Of You. And Yet You Know There Is Life Out There, And You Have To Get Your Message Across.

I Had A Wonderful Childhood, Coming From Cincinnati, And I Think That It Was Great Going Into The Life That I Was Going To Have, Where You Have To Start Young As A Dancer.

When You Are On Stage In Front Of An Audience, You Want To Engage The Entire Crowd. If A Thousand People Are In The Theater, You Need To Dance A Thousand Different Ways, Not One-thousandth Of A Way.
