As Unnatural As Dancing Is,

Classical Virtuosity Is More Than Technique, Line, Proportion, And Balance. It Is As If The Performer And Spectator Come Together To Hold In Their Hands A Bird With A Broken Wing. The Creature Can Be Felt To Stir, To Struggle For Freedom. Its Life Responds To Human Warmth; Its Wing Might Brush Your Check As It Flies Away.

Fortunately For Children, The Uncertainties Of The Present Always Give Way To The Enchanted Possibilities Of The Future.

At This Stage Of My Life I Would Rather Try And Have Some Small Impact Within A Company And Suffer Through Those Things Than Make Such A Big Stink That Nobody Can Trust To Work With You. It's Very Important In An Environment Of A Big Institution That People Don't Feel Threatened That You're Going To Expose Them In Any Way.

As Unnatural As Dancing Is, You Have To Find A Natural Way To Do The Unnatural.

Ballet Is A Riddle Of Means And Ends.
