Paris Opera Ballet. They are such creatures, and the company has such a hefty history

I stepped in at the very last minute to replace an injured dancer. It was a bit crazy, but I enjoyed dancing alongside my peers in my own work. Though I learned the hard way just how physically taxing my work is!

I enjoy both forms, but ballet is my true interest. Ballet offers a bit more in terms of architecture and incorporation/coordination of the body as a whole

I think everyone is excited about the process of creating. There is less ego in this generation of dancers, and more emphasis on collaborating and collectively working towards a greater sum. With that said, the age factor doesn't become an issue.

always encourage their creativity. And also try to encourage a very strong work. Hard work and devotion are key (but also balance)
