Q&A

What was the first ballet you ever performed onstage?
My first ballet recital was something set to The Sound of Music. The first ballet I performed with a company was Giselle.

What makes you laugh?
The reels my friends send me

What’s the most memorable day you’ve ever had?
I had a lot of fun on tour in Ottawa. I remember waking up and getting ready for our one matinee show. I was so happy with how it went afterward. I thought it couldn’t have gone better. Then, we had the rest of the day to explore the city. We went to the museum and afterward had a celebratory dinner. We even got free cookies from a shop that was about to close for the night.
