Hannah O' Neil - my fave dancer

She's awesomely pretty and Eurasian (probably why she's pretty). She's half Jap and Australian and she won the main 2009 Prix de Lausanne scholarhsip. Therefore, she is my idol. These videos are actually of her in the preliminary trials of the Prix de Lausanne:

A Variation from La Bayadere

Some Insane Contemporary Variation that I want to Learn. I would also like to have that tutu. :)

let us speak wise words. ;)

"Movement does not exist outside of the human body. To become a true dancer means to bring to ideal balance the physical impossibilities of your stubborn imperfect body with the possibilities of your soul. Which, as you move through life is continually renewing itself and demanding new expression."
- Natalia Makarova

"Don't ask what the world needs. As what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world eeds is people who have come alive."

"Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes."
- for Eve's sake: Oscar Wilde

"The most important things in life aren't things."

It never becomes easy—it becomes possible. The effort involved in making a dancer’s body is so long and relentless, in many instances painful, the effort to maintain the technique so grueling that unless a certain satisfaction is derived from the disciplining and the punishing, the pace could not be maintained.”
- Agnes de Mille
