“I want to be free and train, constantly reach higher grounds”

HOW DID YOU GET INTO DANCE?

I watched my sister and teacher and got inspired without knowing it. They caught me imitating them and I was very embarrassed, but they suggested I give it a try. I was aged 11.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE TYPE OF DANCE?

Hip hop, definitely.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE TYPE OF MUSIC DANCE TO?

Anything old-school funk.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST DANCING FEAR?

Falling over and getting injured on stage.

BEST PHYSICAL FEATURE?

My back! I do a lot of rock climbing and have developed my back quite a lot.

WHAT IS THE WORST DANCE HABIT YOU HAVE?

I sometime pull a strange facial expression when I prepare for a strenuous move. It can look a bit weird.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST EMBARASSING MOMENT ON STAGE?

I was doing Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat in Sweden and was chatting with somebody backstage. I got so engrossed I forgot which number I was doing and ran smack bang into the wrong song. The lights came up on me, knocking somebody out of a headstand, on the wrong side of the stage. I was mortified.

WHY DID YOU ENTER THE COMPETITION?

For the challenge! I want to see how far I can go and push my limits. It’s a test.
