Another fascinating aspect, ... is that it can be a completely different ballet depending on who's dancing it. It's so simple but it's so revealing, and it can tell such completely different stories.

It's dancing! It's magical, actually. A kind of slowish magic. Like writing with your feet.

That's certainly what I grew up with-ballet and musical comedy. My mother taught ballroom dancing and, I think, would have liked to have been a dancer herself. So she pushed me a lot when I was very young, but I loved it. All I really wanted to be was a dancer. There's a discipline in dance that you don't get anywhere else.

(The Russian National Ballet) brings beautiful dancing, lavish costumes and scenery. It will be a magical performance.

Her dancing was unbelievable. She was kicking ass out there.

Really, the only true ballet moments are with the Fairy Godmother, the Four Seasons and the Twelve Stars (who warn Cinderella that midnight is approaching). It's just a different style of ballet.
