Q&A

Has There Been A Defining Moment in Your Career?
Performing Balanchine’s Tarantella is definitely a defining moment. It was my first principal role and my first time being thrown into a style and speed and stamina requirement I wasn’t used to. That experience completely reshaped my approach to dance.

If you could meet anyone in the world, who would you meet?
John Oliver. It would probably be a really fun conversation

If I weren’t a ballet dancer, I would be…
A classical instrumentalist. Probably piano, maybe strings.
