- Her own style of dance
- her good vibe
- She is a professional dancer.
- She loves her work
- Her sensuality
- I was a very curious child interested in a lot of things so my grandmother took me to try different hobbies: gymnastics, piano lessons, singing in a choir, and dance was one of them. So I started with basic ballet in my preschool age. It was more of a ballet workshop for kids. Then I grew to like it and continued with jazz dance. Later, in my early high school days, after 5 years break, I came back to jazz, and I discovered hip hop, which I fell in love with.
- Definitely the best thing is that in certain jobs you do you just want to pinch yourself and check if it is the reality because you are doing what you love so much, and you are getting paid for it. It is like you are enjoying to the fullest and someone gives you even extra money for that ha ha. Also travelling the world!
- While I was growing up, there wasn't yet YouTube, and I didn't have satellite antenna to watch foreign channels like MTV, so I remember that my former dance school owner would have some MTV dance shows with Wade Robson and music videos filmed on her VCR cassette and I would watch that same cassettes over and over. Music videos by Missy Elliott inspired me the most, also dance movies of that time (Chicago, Honey, You Got Served,...)
