…why did you  choose balet?

Ballet is a form of expression of my personality. When I dance ballet I feel like myself and on top it’s my job that I love so it makes me happy to entertain my audience with my art.

…have you ever thought about anything else?

I have, but not like that I would ever give up ballet  but because I want to have a back up plan if something could happen otherwise.

…how does your normal day look like? (before quarantine and now)

Before quarantine I had a routine and I would wake up at 8:30 and have class at 10. After that I would have rehearsals until 17 o’clock. Also depending on show day it varies everytime. I would also take always some time for my body to recover so there is a sauna I go to and use a massage or the recovery boots for my legs.

During the quarantine I like to keep things busy so I don’t  feel bored. I take classes with my company on zoom and it usually goes until 12:30 and the time after I use to look after my place or cook big and beautiful. Finding new hobbies every day has become a habit and I really enjoy a change in the day.

…what gives you inspiration and motivation in difficult moments?

My goals in life that I want to achieve are my motivation every day. And they keep me going as I want to reach them in the best possible way.

My inspiration are the people that I love. My friends and family but specially my boyfriend who has an amazing way of finding himself when the days are very hard, but it also shows in his work as he always manages everything perfect.

…what do you value the most in your life?

Family, happiness and health.

…what do you value the most in you?

My work ethic ☺

…inspiration thought or quote for other people:

I like to say: time will tell everything!

…the most beautiful moment in your life:

All the moments I spend with the people I love are the most precious and the most beautiful.

…what is your favourite ballet and why?

I cant really answer that because there is so many ballets that have they’re own thought when it was created and I honestly enjoy every ballet because I believe in the hard work and creational spirit of it. Every ballet has a story that was felt emotionally by the choreographer and is a masterpiece and always has an unbelievably stunning characteristic. Till this day I am very grateful and breathtaken by all the ballets that we can still see, dance and look after, because they are beautiful art.
