Noriko's Thoughts: I went to New York to see some ballet when I was a teenager. I also took classes there. The people were so different than they were back in Japan. So much energy. So strong. It spoke to me. It was my style. It made me want to be a ballerina in America. So dancing here is a dream come true.
