Just like most little girls, I always wanted to be a dancer. My older sister was a dancer {and a very, very good one- she was even in a music video!} and I always looked up to her, so naturally I wanted to dance. I took dance classes for awhile but they aren’t cheap, so I mostly just danced to Spice Girls songs on my boombox in my room. But for many girls, dancing is an entire lifestyle.
I recently had the chance to submit questions to be answered by Ballerina Jenelle Manzi of the New York City Ballet!
About Jenelle:
Jenelle was born in Ridgewood, New Jersey and began her dance training at the age of four. In 1999, Ms. Manzi began studying at the School of American Ballet (SAB), the official school of New York City Ballet. While a student, Ms. Manzi originated a featured role in Christopher d’Amboise’s Tribute, as part of the SAB 2005 Annual Workshop. In December 2005, Ms. Manzi became an apprentice with NYCB, and in February 2006, she joined the Company as a member of the corps de ballet.
