I have been dancing since I could balance on two legs - or one
leg for that matter. Dance is an extremely interesting form of
expression. Unlike a painting, movement is a medium that is alive
- not figuratively. Unlike a song, a dancer cannot make a sound traditionally. Unlike a play, ballet does not need a story, a problem,
a plot - only emotion. It is because of these qualities I, and millions of
other people on this earth, have chosen to devote our hearts to this form
of art. It is the exchange of feelings between the movement, the mover,
and the watcher: pain, frustration, triumph, anger, sadness, and love
that makes dance so extraordinary.
It is through the desire to capture the passions of mankind that we
attempt to express them.
