Mary's Role

Mary Quotes

• "I'm excited. It's kind of a Flashdance-esque story of a girl; a hip hop dancer trying to make it in the real world of dance so she's having to learn ballet and jazz and cabaret and all these different things and she's not trained for it. The burlesque is really more cabaret at a club; just theatrical pieces and fun dance sets. It should be a lot of fun."

• "I'm having to play someone who is a hip hop dancer who is classically not so good which is the opposite of me. I have no experience in hip hop whatsoever. I was classically trained. I'm having to throw away all my classical training and focus on hip hop and jazz and that type of thing whereas ballet is what I did most of my life."
