Female Role Models – Famous Women Mentors

“It’s someone to emulate and then go beyond. If you have it in front of you — dancers are famous for this because we emulate all the time — the honest example bolsters you. Dancers go through their moments of, ‘Oh, her leg is higher than mine.’ That, to me, is exactly the competition you aspire to, but you have to be competing with yourself. You are always raising the bar for yourself, and in dance, there are other dancers to watch.”
