Favorite quote: “Healing is a lifelong process and a daily exercise. It you’re on that journey, please continue onward, because I promise there are brighter days ahead” – Ariana Grande
Favorite role: Études, with the Mazurka being my favorite section to perform, both in the Corps de Ballet and as the Soloist.
Favorite costume: It has to be my first production with the Paris Opera Ballet, where I performed the role of Les Amies de Juliette (Juliet’s Friends) in Romeo and Juliette. We had the most beautiful costumes. It might sound a little cheesy, but you could truly feel the history in every detail, they felt so magical to wear, but every costume of the production was absolutely gorgeous.
I also have to mention Blake Works by William Forsythe. I haven’t had the chance to dance it yet, but it’s my favorite ballet of all time, and I’d love to wear those costumes one day. They’re so sleek, simple, and elegant.
Fun Fact: I love cars and even go to car meets sometimes, but I still don’t have a driver’s license.
Lead and featured roles in previous companies include: Rudolf Nureyev’s Roméo et Juliette and La Bayadère , Kenneth Tindall’s Casanova, Michael Pink’s Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty, Petipa’s Giselle and Cayetano Soto’s Train Bleu
