Being in a place like the Royal Ballet School and part of an environment where there is so much discipline, where everyone works so hard, it just completely occupies your life. You literally live it and breath it every single day; it becomes who you are. And that, I think, is very good preparation for really anything you do in life.

My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.

It's great for ballet aficionados, who know what's supposed to happen.

I wish my art form created the emotional fervor that this thing does. We struggle with our ticket sales for the ballet, and my understanding is that they can't sell Seahawks T-shirts fast enough.

She has the personality and physical makeup for Broadway. In ballet, there are standards that must be met if you want a career in it. You should be small boned and have a 180 degree rotation in your hips.

This is a good one to see because it's got a bit of everything in it. For someone around my age that didn't grow up with ballet or has never seen one, this is great. It's the kind of thing my generation would want to come out and see and will enjoy. I don't think there is any way you could get bored with this performance.

I've always performed classical ballet so I've never been challenged like this. (African dance) is very different. In ballet we're always thinking about holding our arms out straight and being in an up position. You're more grounded with African movements - moving your arms very differently - it's all about being down in the earth.

He loved the ballet more than he loved sports. He would always make a point to see it when we were in New York or Chicago and certainly at home in San Francisco.

All the ballet majors here dance all day long and they work jobs all night long, so it's hard to fit in choreography time. Whereas if you were an artistic director at a university, there's time set aside for rehearsal.

My Mom is a ballet director, so I had this idea in me that classical training is the best foundation for anything you do, so I wanted to get a classical background and voice.

I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and as far as my exposure to theatre, my mom is a ballet director, and she has her own ballet company down there. I started, I think, when I was four when I went onstage for the first time as Fritz in The Nutcracker. That's how it started with me.

[Forget images of them rehearsing together in the living room.] The first thing we do when we walk in the door is not talk about ballet,.. We hit the door, take a deep breath, and that's it.

It upset me because I put in over 250 hours of practice for this show.. And just because I had ballet when I was a kid, maybe it helped, but I was never the kind of dancer that I became during this competition, and I had never done ballroom dancing.

You might think that since you are a busy, active family that an active dog might best suit your needs. But if your activities mainly consist of going to soccer and ballet practice while the dog sits at home by itself, that most likely isn't a good fit.

I think it's Harris Ferris who made the difference. His vision is that what makes a successful ballet company is the cohesion of music and dance.

[But there are others uneasy about the encroachment of bare skin.] I think as a rule in classical ballet there is not a great call for nudity,.. Our aesthetic is one built around a clarity of line and form which is seen at its best when there is a uniform covering of the body.

[So we won't be seeing the Australian Ballet consider a naked Albrecht, a la Mats Ek, any time soon?] It would not be the sort of thing that we would seek out,.. I think if one relies on sensationalist nudity to make a ballet relevant to a contemporary audience then there obviously is some work needed on that ballet.
