Anna's love for ballet started when her mother took her to a performance of The Sleeping Beauty. The wondrous performance imprinted Anna. After seeing that, Anna, eight years old, had her mom take her to auditioned for Imperial Ballet School, which she didn't get in because she was eight. But at ten, Anna auditioned again, and with success. This is when Anna appeared on stage for the first time, in the production of Un conte do fees(a fairy tale).
Anna's training was difficult, because classical ballet didn't come easily to her. She had severely arched feet, thin ankles, and long limbs. All of those kept clashing when she tried to dance. Since she was so bad, the other kids nicknamed her "The Broom" or " La petite sauvage." Although she was horrible, Anna trained to improve her dancing. Also, she took extra classes from teachers too. Soon enough she had it down, and she was moved up into Prima ballerina, which means almost ballerina.
This shows you that you need to work hard, or else its not fun. If everythings easy why do anything. She was motivated because she wanted to overcome what was hard for her, not only because she wanted to dance.
