However, during that time my mother was involved in a severe car accident, and I decided to defer my place for a scholarship offer as a trainee at Joffrey Ballet School and later an apprentice position with State Street Ballet in California. I am truly grateful for these experiences because as a dancer your age limits your opportunities to get into a ballet company.
