I've always been drawn to all forms of dance. Coming to Princeton was [my] first exposure to actual training.

I think most artists are concerned with expressing what's going on in his or her place and time. This is one of the ways in which ballet was behind ... always recreating old work and building exclusive audiences.

I think I was raised on all types of music. Of course there was the American pop music. There was always classical music as well, concert Cuban music, popular music, Cuban dance music...

Dance is one of the most revealing art forms.

Dance is the most fundamental of all art forms.

Coming to Princeton was no different than Penn State. It's just a difference in the color of the uniforms.
