So Dancing Was Not Something

I Used To Love To Play Dress-up, Where You Get Your Mother's Or Your Grandmother's Dresses And High Heels.

I Was Very Happy That I Was As Normal As Possible Before I Went Into Serious Dance.

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.

I Liked Latin, I Like Languages, I Liked All The Myths, And The Roman Tales That We Were Required To Translate In Latin, And All These Interesting People Who Were Never Quite What They Thought They Would Be Or Seemed To Be.

In Fact, Ballet Companies Did Not Exist In The Midwest When I Was A Child.
