What's your favorite ballet to watch?
Bulle: "Rubies. I love the costumes, the style, the music — everything!"
McDaniel: "Romeo and Juliet. I enjoy watching how a dancer can transform into the role and be completely vulnerable! It's a dream role of mine to be Romeo. It's just the most beautiful ballet, and that Prokofiev score melts my heart!"

What about the top onstage costume of all-time?
Bulle: "My favorite has to be the Jumping Girl from Balanchine’s Who Cares?."
McDaniel: "The best in my book has to be my own Swan Lake jester costume. It was a simple unitard that was vertically divided, half white and half black. It had a big headpiece and cool accessories on the arms. This was created for me by our wardrobe mistress at the time, Kanique Thomas. We often rent costumes from other places, so having a costume especially created for my body is so rewarding! My least favorite costume would be anything that doesn't show my body enough. I feel that we work so hard to tone and shape our bodies, and anything too baggy just covers it up."
