“Criticism can be great, and can actually make you a better person, if you use it in the right way.”

HOW DID YOU GET INTO DANCE?

My older brother did dance lessons when we were much younger – and I insisted one day on going along, because he was. Then I just fell in love with it, and now it’s my life… I dance all the time.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TYPE OF DANCE?

I’m a bit of a confused dancer, stylistically… because I have so many dance backgrounds I love a bit of everything.

WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST DANCING FEAR?

Forgetting a routine, or blanking out.

BEST PHYSICAL FEATURE?

Ha! Some people say my bottom, but I’d say my eyes.

WHAT’S THE WORST HABIT IN DANCE THAT YOU HAVE?

Sometimes I chew my mouth, whilst dancing. I doubt myself also.

ON STAGE WHAT’S BEEN YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?

There was a time when I forgot a piece of choreography during a performance at the exact same time as my friend who I was dancing next to – and the annoying thing was the two of us were the only two who got it right all the way through rehearsals! They were copying us really, so when we lost it, they all lost it too…

WHY DID YOU ENTER THIS COMPETITION?

My friends all said for me to go along. I was quite apprehensive at first, but I decided there was nothing to lose going along. I got a ticket to Choreography Camp from my first audition, so I figured it was the start of something good. It’s well out of my comfort zone, doing all this… but it’s an adventure for me.
