Abstract
This interview was held with Tanya Howard who is a Principal dancer with the National Ballet of Canada. Howard left her home in Johannesburg at a young age to attend the National Ballet School. In this interview she discusses the development of her career as a professional dancer, shares some of her highlights through this journey and lays out both a typical training day and what a day in performance is like. Howard concludes with a request to audiences to remember that professional dancers are more than just a performance; they are real people with more depth.
