they all have the same
goal we like to use the word potential
because there are no guarantees
the school of american ballet is the
preeminent ballet school
in the u.s taela had office from houston
ballet in bostoy
but all she sees s-a-b balanchine
created the school of american ballet
balanchine style is not easy there's a
lot of detail
classical ballet is slow as swan-like
balancing it's faster sharp and
energetic there is more power
lots of children have the body but not
the spirit for it
if they don't have that it's not going
to work
it's about why you dance it's just a
chance for me to be vulnerable without
having to like talk about it you know
the training here is a lot more intense
there's just so many talented dancers
there's competition everywhere
we are auditions for the nutcracker it's
not a recital of just children they're
performing with the top company in the
world
last year and didn't get anything and i
was terrified
unfortunately we won't be able to use
you it is a little bit of a roller
coaster
i think you come to sav to get into new
york city ballet
once you've been in new york city ballet
it opens up a lot of doors
okay girls here we go dancing
is kind of a sense of freedom i look to
that calendar
it's about to get real ballet is an
unforgiving art form
it's my dream to prove that i deserve to
be there
when you're on point you forget about
what's happening
and just be free i want to do ballet for
my whole life
the dancing the music the costumes the
sets
i can't live without it
