Lindsey Stirling
American Musician
I started making music that I loved and was passionate and excited about, but it was really cool when I started touring to realize it's an extremely diverse group of people who come out. In the front row, I'll have everyone from a little girl in a frilly tutu, to rockers and gamers and older couples. I love it that it's just everybody.

Sofia Richie
American Celebrity

Deborah Bull
British Dancer

I had never a thought of training to be a ballerina. I was a normal child. I never dreamed of the tutu.
