• Being a former dancer, classical dancer, it informed me as a human being just in terms of the grace I guess. Ballet is a very graceful form of art. You also become very aware of your body and your mind and your body is working in conjunction. That kind of helps you in acting as well. It's not only using your mind, it's like making your mind communicate this character into your body so that you can bring it to life and physicalize it.

• To have a platform like So You Think You Can Dance, where you're reaching this audience that's been created over the 10 years that they've been on the air.

They're building this audience that's advanced and educated enough to introduce them to ballet.
