Moving Moments

Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre James Whiteside is unapologetically authentic and celebrated for doing the unthinkable. He talks about falling in love with ballet for the first time, becoming aware of his weaknesses and working to overcome them, and his "dream" workplace, American Ballet Theatre. James also lets Alicia in on the secrets to being a "Cindy."

Emmy-nominated choreographer and internationally celebrated tap dancer Chloe Arnold epitomizes hard work and high energy. She catapulted her all-female tap-dancing group, the Syncopated Ladies, to the spotlight with their fierce rhythms, soulful grooves, viral videos, and a little help from Beyoncé. Chloe discusses how the movie Tap inspired her as a child, the dance move she performed that won Debbie Allen's attention, the importance of sisterhood in her work and life, and how she keeps a "long-vision" perspective.
