Mikhail Baryshnikov , at the time, was time the artistic director. He said to her "You are a beautiful dancer, but your body is too bulky."

However, I was not. Then I was given, say five days to study really, really complicated water-skiing techniques, as I was expected to participate in the Sea World water-skiing show. I have no idea how swimming works!" The album was followed by All the Right Moves (1983) Then there was The Red Dawn(84) and as well as The Wild Life (1984).
