Q&A
What are the first three things that you do every morning?
Make coffee, walk my dog, and meditate.
What inspired you to keep dancing during the COVID-19 lockdown?
It simply made me happy at the time. Ballet gave me something productive to focus my mind and energy on - even if it was just going back to basics in my living room. There was also the deeper knowing that on the other side of things - humanity was going to need to watch something beautiful again. That kept me going.
If you weren’t a dancer, what would your job be?
A writer!
