Favorite quote: “The harder you work for something, the greater you’ll feel when you achieve it.” ~Sarah Lamb
Favorite role: Siegfried in the ballet Swan Lake. I danced the Act 2 solo and pas de deux and Act 4 pas de deux in Canada. The prince in Swan Lake has always been a dream role of mine to perform, I love the movement quality and the music is one of my favourite scores in ballet.
Favorite costume: Probably the Rhapsody costumes I wore in school. I loved the colors and the costumes where the original costumes rented from the Royal Ballet which was really cool. They where also very comfortable which is always a plus!
Fun Fact: I have three younger sisters and 4 dogs!
