Why I became a dancer
“I think since I was little I loved music and naturally I would make movements to it. It took me a while to figure out that dance is movement and at the age of thirteen, when I was brave enough, I took my first dance class. I was introduced to classical ballet as well as modern dance but after one year of experiencing both I fell in love with the true traditional classical style. After two years of catching up with the basics of the ballet training, the well ended audition for La Scala Ballet School of Milan made my decision to want to become a ballet dancer.”
