Strength In Motion: Interview With Tamara Rojo
“Ballet is essentially a language that is about emotions.
It is for me the best language to express emotions in the rawest sense.
And it’s a language that has no barriers that anyone can understand from any country and from any background.”

What Does It Take To Be A Ballerina?
To be a dancer in this day in age, the most important thing is you need to have the RIGHT training.
You need to have the right body type and proportions.
You need to have the right kind of facility.
Your family has to have the right financial circumstances.
Now, to add to all of that, you have to be musical and an artist.
Finally, you have to be smart, hardworking and dedicated.
No matter how hard you work, you can never give up.

[News] Madonna To Direct Movie Based On Life Of Ballerina Michaela DePrince
Madonna is to return to the movies after a seven-year absence to direct Taking Flight, a feature film based on the life of Michaela DePrince, a war orphan from Sierra Leone who became a leading ballerina.
According to Deadline, Hollywood studio MGM has been developing the project since 2015 when it acquired the rights to DePrince’s memoir, co-written with her adoptive mother, Elaine.
“Michaela’s journey resonated with me deeply as both an artist and an activist who understands adversity,” Madonna said. “We have a unique opportunity to shed light on Sierra Leone, and let Michaela be the voice for all the orphaned children she grew up beside. I am honoured to bring her story to life.”
