My sister married a rich man, but that didn’t help us. We had to cut our own stomachs. One day we ran out of money. We almost need a piece of bread. Sitting with mother, we pondered what to do. I am 16 years old and suddenly decided to dance but I am short and weigh 63 kg. They told me I had to be 51-52 kilos or I couldn’t dance. I worked hard, ate only salad every day, did pilates and lost 11 kilos in a month.”
