**********************************************************************
What was the first ballet you saw?
I am not sure which ballet I saw first. But the first ballet I remember seeing was my mum and dad performing Swan Lake in Australia.
Why did you start dancing?
Because I followed everything my older sister did, even being her little 'shadow' at the back of her dance classes.
What is your favorite ballet?
Of course more dramatic ballets like Romeo and Juliet are always very beautiful, however my favorite ballet to dance is George Balanchine’s ballet Serenade, mostly because it was something I did when I was younger and it is such a great women’s ballet to do.
Why do you think ballet is still relevant today?
Ballet is relevant today as it is still an art form that can be used to express ourselves or portray a story or message etc.
What is so special about the Royal Danish Ballet?
My favourite thing is that we all support each other so much!
What is your favorite step from class?
Grand allegro – I love jumping!
Who is your roomie at the theatre?
Birgitta Lawrence.
What is your favorite food?
I grew up in Australia so a good steak always makes me happy.
What is your favorite holiday destination?
So far it would be Morocco. Such an amazing place with a completely different culture.
Is there anything you can’t live without?
Simply music and Facetime, and to see my family in Australia.
