I never thought of myself as special or particularly good at anything. But once I started ballet, suddenly I had a new identity: prodigy.

Finding ballet was like finding this missing piece of myself.

All you can do is be your best self. I'm representing more than just me. I think everyone should be like that.

It's time to write our own story.

My first ballet class was on a basketball court. I'm in my gym clothes and my socks trying to do this thing called ballet. I didn't know anything about it.

Ballet was so structured. I'd been craving something that could guide me.
