What is your favorite Ballet?
Some of my favorite ballets include Giselle, Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet, and Mayerling. I love the big dramatic story ballets.
What do you do when you’re not dancing?
I love to cook and bake when I have time off from BSA or teaching in the School of BSA. I read a lot as well and love a great fantasy saga.
What would you do if you weren’t a dancer?
I am taking courses for a business degree, but I think if I hadn’t pursued dance, I would have really enjoyed studying and teaching History or Philosophy. When I was young I wanted to be a History professor.
