Quotes by Carrie Ann Inaba

I wasnt a ballet baby. My first dance class was in an outdoor pavilion when I was three. It was called creative movement. The teacher gave us chiffon scarves in beautiful colors. She turned on some music and said, Now go dance. So for me, dance has always been about self-expression.

My poor vision gives me a soft-focus morning. For the first half hour, I kind of wander through my house, and everything is a blur. I put my contacts in when Im ready to deal with the world.

When I can, I take two classes back-to-back.
