****************************************************************
Why did you start dancing?
I have loved music and dance as long as I can remember and I wore out my first pair of ballet shoes when I was two years old; I started official ballet lessons at the age of five.
What is your favorite ballet?
My favorite ballet would have to be a tie between La Sylphide, Giselle, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.
Fun fact:
Aside from dance, I have always been interested in fashion and costume design and plan to pursue that interest in the future.
