my favorite part of the nutcracker is when two armies of children are screaming and running around behind two grown adults and then the prince impales the rat on a sword and the rat children drag his corpse offstage

i always thought that was brimming with holiday cheer

I feel so naked when I’m dancing. There’s nowhere to hide. I cannot simply put on a mask and shrug it off. If I don’t mean it, it will show. This is probably the only time that I have to be honest as long as I’m doing it, otherwise it won’t work. It’s scary, because I have to be honest with myself, primarily.

never underestimate a dancer.

we are trained to live on endurance. you can always do better. 'slack' is not part of our vocabulary. you can't cheat in conditioning. there are no second chances. there's always one last leap left in you.

we have a few short minutes in which we perform a masterpiece that portrays an entire story, and we have to do it perfectly. the first try. we don't have multiple innings or quarters, we don't get to sit out for half the game, we don't get to depend on anybody else. it's all on us. we are minutes of pure, intense choreography,

yet we still aren't classified as athletes?
