To The Pointe

has been a way of life for Ms. Cynthia Blackistone. Upon further inquiry, one can realize how much work goes into her career as a dancer. Everyday, she laces up her ballet shoes, stepping into the limelight for thousands of people to critique, review and discuss her performance. “A person once asked me what it was like to do something in the entertainment industry; I looked at them with a grin and said this is not entertainment, this is work for me”, says Blackinstone.

“Being on the road over the past seven and a half years has taken a tole on my body, my family, and my life but it has been something I embraced. I love what I do; working under all the pressure is something that I live off of.”

“There is nothing better than seeing the faint smile of your child, in the crowd watching you do some-thing you love”.
