Myriam Simon: “As a teenager, I moved to a new neighbourhood and just walked into the nearby ballet school (as I understood later, it was the École Supérieure de Danse du Quebec!), without knowing anything about it. It was love at first sight: I auditioned for classes before I had even seen a ballet on stage, I had no idea – but they accepted me! When I took the very first steps in a ballet studio then, I knew: This was going to be my life.”
