My motto is "Don’t let anyone steer you away from your passion." When I began to take ballet seriously, I experienced a lot of negative feedback. Everyone told me to quit or find a more realistic career path.
How did you feel moving in Judy Blue jeans?
Moving in Judy Blue Jeans was a great experience. The jeans fit as if they are active wear. I felt so supported and free to move.
