Watch my body speak its native language.
Added 2019-05-19 17:37:37 +0000 UTCThis video contains excerpts from every barre exercise in succession, giving you a peek of what goes into the creation of a ballerina. I have been doing these exercises since I was 7 years old, and they are the foundation of everything I do.
While they seem simple, the range of emotion that spills out into each of them reveals how I truly feel about dance: At its heart, before pain or money or attention or undereating or fame got involved, once upon a time, it was about pure, unadulterated joy. I reach back in time and deep inside myself to return to that feeling of being a little girl and doing what, to a little girl, is the most beautiful thing alive.
