8.  What part(s) are you most excited to dance in our upcoming production of Nutcracker?  Why?

Waltz of the flowers, because I've never performed it before.

9.  What is the most important item in your dance bag?

Altoids and socks.


10.  What do you love most about ballet?

I love the familiarity of ballet, and the fact that you can do the same step over and over again for years, and never perfect it.  You can come into a ballet class anywhere in the world, and usually count on starting with pliés and tendus, and working your way up to pirouettes and grand jetés.  Everything has a name and a correct way to do it.  I love how no matter how long you take ballet, you can always make everything better.
