Favourite role to perform

Dancing the Paquita pas de deux and solo was a challenging but rewarding repertoire as it has a stylish and elegant character that felt amazing to perform.

Roles would love to dance

Alice, from Alice in Wonderland - My dream role as I love the mystery and adventure of Alice's personality.
Kitri, Don Quixote, is an iconic role and hopefully one day I will be able to perform and master this amazing vivacious character.

Dance inspiration

Music is a passion I’ve always had and whenever I listen to it, I am inspired to move and create energy. I love expressing the highs and lows of the beats together with playing different characters to express a story to the audience.
