Why do you dance?
Dancing is part of who I am. As a child, I would dance on the soccer field during games. In finding dance I found who I am and rediscover that every time I step in the studio or on the stage.

Why do you think that ballet is relevant today?
Dance is found in every culture around the world for as far back as there is history. It is ingrained in the human identity. In modern times, an audience can live vicariously through ballet, experience this history and identify themselves in us, the performers.
