************************************************************
Why do you think ballet is still relevant today?
Ballet is like many other art forms, a way to escape from the real world and for a while let go of the feelings many hide away everyday.
What is your favorite ballet?
I really love all of the big classics with lots of drama, but I think Giselle is my absolute favorite, because I somehow identify myself with Giselle.
What is your favorite food?
My morning oatmeal, with fruits, nuts and other good things!
Where can we find you on a day off?
Eating brunch with my friends at one of the many good brunch cafés in Copenhagen. Otherwise, I like going for a long walk listening to music.
One thing you can’t live without?
My family!
