I loved what you said about dancing with your wife! So sweet and wholesome. I also really resonated with what you said about not being born with a "ballet build" but choosing it. As an adult dancer who takes it seriously (but still for fun!), I'm curious to know in what ways you used to present yourself as a shorter person (asking as a 5'1" female) in ballet. This was a really fun and inspiring Q&A! I love the types of conversations your channel puts out, especially regarding artistry.
Hi Emily- thanks for the great comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video. To answer your question- it was all about creating the best version of myself as a dancer. Not about desperately trying to fit into the ballet world’s standards, but instead, prioritizing technique and artistry. You then can dance in a way when they don’t just see a body moving onstage, but a person telling a story and provoking emotion. Good luck in your ballet journey and thank you very much for watching! 😁
Could you talk about attention deficit as an asset or liability for dancers?
