Who inspired you to dance?
My mom – she was a professional dancer and my teacher. I owe so much of who I am as a dancer & person to her guidance, support and passion.
What is your favorite performance you have been a part of?
One of my favorite performances was dancing Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante on tour in Jackson for the USAIBC opening ceremony.
It was my third time revisiting this ballet which is always rewarding – I felt so free. It was a reminder of how precious moments are on stage and how lucky I am to share them with such wonderful artists.
