Hayna Gutierrez - The discipline of dance
b'
Hayna Gutierrez is a principal ballerina with a rich heritage in dance who shares honestly about career, recent retirement and transitioning into teaching.\\xa0
\\u201cThat\\u2019s what I want to give - passion. I don\\u2019t only want to teach technique. It\\u2019s very hard to teach that, but I would love to try to give them the passion that I still have inside, because you never stop dancing. You think you stop dancing, but it\\u2019s impossible. We can\\u2019t live without music and movement.\\u201d
