Ji Min Hong is from South Korea, and has danced with the National Ballet of Canada (2010 – 2014) and Royal Danish Ballet (2014 – present). “Dance has taught me how to live my life: to be humble because the power and beauty of art are so much bigger than who I am; to be patient because things don’t always work out the way I want them to, but eventually they will work out the way they should if I don’t give up on myself; and to be grateful for everything because I know how it feels not to be able to do what I love to do, and being able to dance is a miracle. Picasso said that ‘Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life’, and, through my art form of dance, I hope to help create moments like these for our audiences.”
