Anderson’s story of her career as a principal ballerina seems quite simple and typical as she started early at seven, soon became a principal dancer of Houston Ballet, and then now is giving back to the society by teaching ballet to children of “underserved” community. However, I believe behind that story are all strenuous efforts and untiring perseverance along with her outstanding talent that kept her lifelong dream alive and made it come true. I can feel in her a great passion for the ballet career in every word she said and every story she told. Because ballet is hard and highly

Since childhood they give their lives to a professional path through the ballet academies. They are shut away from their own family and friends. These girls don’t have any personal time, their days are given over to endless practice from early morning at seven-thirty until late at night.…
