The life of a ballet dancer is never an easy one; defecting to a country where you don’t speak the language with a dream to dance makes it almost impossible. Dance Channel TV speaks with Armenian-born ballet dancer David Hovhannisyan, who as a teenage company member on tour in the United States, altered his life, and his career forever by choosing to stay behind and dance in America.
