Sticking to a step closer to success

Doesn't she laugh? They like to see the animals that kick her legs, and if she is taller, it will be fine. if……

Like thousands of other young women, Twyer Sarah came to New York with great dreams. Claiming to be an Indiana farm girl, she entered the Barnard College to pursue a degree in art history. What she really loves and obsessed with is dance.

In order to meet the physical requirements of the college, she studied dance with the legendary Martha Graham and Moss Cunningham. Soon, because she had two or three dance lessons a day, she had to squeeze time to finish school work. A dream was born. But dance is not a reliable lifelong career.

In the mid-1960s, after Saip graduated, he began to audition various commercial advertisements and tried many roles - but it seems to be inappropriate. She lacks the professional skills to become a ballet, and in an important audition, she found herself too short to participate in the "Rocket Girl" dance group. "They like to watch my kicking movements," she wrote in her autobiography, "Adversity Survival," "But, can't I laugh?" Others told her that she was too small from any angle. Can't be a Latina performer, "However, I am still trying." Trap is still confused: "I will be a dance reward? Is there a future for jumping?" In the beginning, I want to think about it. The only way to know what the outcome is is to set up your own group and create your own dance style.

For five years, Trap and her dance group rehearsed almost every day in the basement of a teaching in Greenwich Village. On Sunday morning, church administrators sometimes had to "catch them out." Their performances are meager and almost unrecognized. Saap kept asking himself: "Do you want to stick to it, or do you want to give up?"

For 40 years, Sapu has designed dance moves for more than 100 performances on Broadway and films such as Hair and Jazz Age, and won the 2004 National Art Medal. Today, she will still ask herself the question, the answer is: persistence.
