I am different because I have better schooling, better understanding of the line, gesture, how feet working, positions. They taught me modern things... and I wanted to give what I had: my schooling.
It's a hard life... but if I could, I would do it all again.
All ballet, all reading, all music. That was my world, my inner world.
I recently learn a new word: insatiable. That's me.
