Womack hopes to spend more time touring Asia. “Asia is where ballet is still emerging. Asian students have amazing qualities such as discipline and determination. They use their brains when they work. I want to steal some of that,” she said. Womack is also taking time out to help the Youth Ballet of Asia promote the development of ballet in Hong Kong and inspire young dancers to pursue their dreams. Competitions such as the AGP are the core foundations to have more dancers in the community become professionals. Something we can take from the Russian tradition is the appreciation of dance as a profession. In Russia, everyone knows what ballet is. It carries generations of tradition. It’s more than a hobby but something almost part of everyday life of the people,” she said. - China Daily
