Joy Womack, the first American to graduate from the Bolshoi Ballet's main training program, speaks during an interview with Reuters in Moscow February 11, 2013. Dance has, for some, become a way to escape a drama behind the scenes that has had more twists than many an on-stage plot in the month since a masked attacker threw acid in the face of Sergei Filin, the Bolshoi Ballet's artistic director. Womack does not conceal that competition for roles and for influence over productions is intense at the Bolshoi and says people with different artistic visions "will butt heads"; but, in that, she sees it as not unusual in the ballet world.
