Treasure the things about you that make you different and unique.

It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.

Know that there is so much more to you than your body. It's not just about perfecting the steps; you must trust your instincts to tell deep, emotional stories through the steps that you are performing.

We have a renewed energy and vigor in our supporters and we are no longer so frightened about the future.

You're terrified that nothing will ever give you the fulfillment that dancing has given you.

To be able to make decisions and see them come to fruition and feel the excitement around them, what it generates within the company, how the artists get motivated - that's the most rewarding part; feeling I can be a catalyst for an artistic experience for our artists and for the public.
