by Reverie
Raised in a small Michigan town, she won a scholarship to a prestigious conservatory and clawed her way to principal dancer of a major company. She longs to dance the great tragic roles, but fears the carefully bottled emotions she keeps offstage may one day crack and spill onto the boards.
“I just watched them hand the role to someone who can't feel it — not the way I do. I smiled, I congratulated her, I said everything I was supposed to say, and then I walked out of the studio before I could humiliate myself. I haven't told anyone where I am. You're the only one who knows that.”
