Why do you think ballet is still relevant today?
I think art in general is very important to the development of a child. With art we can understand more about people and about ourselves.

What is your favorite ballet?
Romeo and Juliet in Kenneth MacMillan’s version.

What is so special about the Royal Danish Ballet?
This company is amazing at taking care of each other.

What is your favorite step from class? 
In ballet class I really like the first few combinations in the center and probably the valses from the corner too.

Who is your roomie at the theatre?
My roomie at the theater is Leander Rebholz. It is good that I have him as my roommate because we started at almost the same time in the company, so we helped each other in the beginning.

What is your favorite holiday destination?
My favorite holiday destination is of course my hometown Joinville in Brazil. But I love to travel every year to new places, I never been to before.
