“It's hard with ballet because your aesthetic really is important. It's different from acting and from film. Nobody wants to watch somebody who is sickly thin. And it's interesting because I have danced with people who are ill, have eating disorders, and a light goes off within them.” PeopleWantImportantDifferentHardLightFilmInterestingActingWatchesEatingIllDisorderBalletAestheticEating Disorder Author:Amanda Schull
“As a dancer, I know couples that have stayed married but separated to dance on different continents. Dance in general, but ballet in particular, is such a finite career.

“Nicholas Hytner, who directed Center Stage, is a huge ballet fan. He was completely open, as was Bruce Beresford, to get our perspective. "No, we wouldn't do this. Yes, we would do that. That's not realistic." So, I feel like Center Stage did well in that respect.” FeelsWellsFansStageHugePerspectiveRealisticBalletCenter Stage Author:Amanda Schull
“I give myself a Pilates/yoga hybrid mat class almost every day. I also continue to take ballet classes. Both of these practices help me to be aware of my body, my center, and how I move, both with my physical space and my mental space.” GivingHelpingBodyMovingSpaceClassPracticeYogaHelp MeBalletHybridPilatesBallet Class Author:Amanda Schull
