Not only does she practice for two to four hours per day. but every olher weekend sheflies to New York to train with Valenlina Kozlova, a principal wiih both the Rolshoi and the New York Cily Ballet. Ballet is intensely competitive, so just "being able to keep up with your level" is a challenge, Whitney said. Sometimes she considers quitting, such as when she doesn't do well at a performance or if she doesn't like one of her teachers. "You have to find a teacher that's right for you." she said. "Just make sure you do it because you love it. not just because you want to be perfect." Whitney definitely has "the love." About her craft, she says; "It feels like you're in a different world. You're free and peaceful," Whitney-said. "When you're dancing, everything's smooth and quiet."
