To become a classical ballerina, you have to move to New York when you`re 12 or 11 and that becomes your life. I just wanted to be good in my company in Charleston and I wanted it to always be part of my life.
I`m still really close with everyone at home and their parents - and their brothers and sisters. I was so, so, so lucky to grow up as part of a community and I don`t take that for granted. I try very hard to stay part of it.
Well, you can`t be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there`s going to be a flip side to it.
