Q&A

What has your favorite role been?
The lead male in George Balanchine’s Who Cares. This role really pushed me to my limit. You have to do three pas de deux with three different partners and a variation. By the end, you’re extremely exhausted yet super fulfilled. Those are always the best roles.

What makes you laugh?
Quick-witted people!

What’s your proudest moment?
It’s not one moment specifically, but not giving up on my dream to become a professional ballet dancer, even though there were many chances for me to do so.
