Even the ears must dance.

I recently learn a new word: insatiable. That's me.

You cannot dance an arabesque in 'Swan Lake' and 'Nutcracker' the same way.

To look back all the time is boring. Excitement lies in tomorrow.

All of the very important events in my life happen by chance.

The expression should come from within oneself, conveying the spiritual - something between earth and heaven. And if one runs, one should not seem to touch the ground.

It's a hard life... but if I could, I would do it all again.
dancing people endurance
People tell me I'm dancing better than ever. I don't know what happened, but I have new enthusiasm and more endurance.

Usually, English personalities are difficult; they dont take criticism easily.
relaxation body physicality
Because my profession is the body, it is a relaxation for me to get out of physicality and concentrate on more mental things.
dance erotic feelings
I was born to be a ballerina - my physique, my spirit, my feeling for music. What I am can only be expressed in dance. I am an erotic woman and that's what dance is.

I prepare myself very intensely. I am at the theatre four hours before the performance. It allows for complete concentration and preparation.

I don't keep my secrets or my knowledge to myself.
