My mother was a dominant force in my life. She had a very specific idea about education, which was: you should know everything about everything. It was quite simple. There was no exclusivity, and there really was no judgment.
It was not until I had graduated from college that I made a professional commitment to it. Frankly, I didn`t think it wise. I was my own interior parental force, and it`s very difficult to justify a profession as a dancer.
